Ingredients

• 1 lb breakfast sausage

• 6 large eggs

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ¼ cup milk

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• 4 large flour tortillas

• Butter or oil, for greasing

Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage
   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces. Stir occasionally until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

2. Scramble the Eggs
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
   Add a little butter or oil to the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture, and cook over medium-low heat until softly scrambled. Remove from the heat.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups
   Lay tortillas flat. Evenly divide sausage and scrambled eggs among them, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
   Roll each tortilla tightly to secure the filling.
