Ingredients
Ingredients (5 servings)
- 10 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 6 oz)
- 5 slices bacon, cooked crisp
- 5 breakfast sausage patties, cooked
- Nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter/oil
Tip: Cooking your bacon and sausage ahead helps streamline assembly. Leftovers can be frozen too!
Step-by-Step: How to Make Homemade Breakfast Roll Ups
- Prep your fillings:
Sauté sausage patties until golden and thoroughly cooked; keep them warm. - Whisk the eggs:
Crack two eggs per roll-up (10 eggs total) into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth. - Cook the egg “tortilla”:
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Once the pan is hot, lower the heat to medium-low, apply a light coat of cooking spray, and pour in the beaten eggs. Cover and let cook for about 2–3 minutes until nearly set but still slightly moist. - Add cheese and meats:
Sprinkle about ⅓ cup of cheddar onto the egg. Layer a slice of bacon over the cheese, then split a sausage patty in half and place both halves on top. - Roll it up:
Using a spatula, carefully fold the egg over the fillings, folding in thirds like a burrito or taquito. Press gently to seal the roll shape. Slide onto a plate and set aside. - Repeat:
Repeat steps for the remaining four roll ups, whisking fresh eggs each time to maintain structure and flavor. - Serve or store:
Enjoy your roll ups warm, or let cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Helpful Tips
- Even layer: Swirl eggs in the pan to create a large, thin tortilla; this makes rolling easier.
- Don’t overcook: Take the egg off the heat while still slightly soft—you want pliable eggs, not rubbery.
- Seal the ends: Tuck in edges when rolling to prevent fillings from leaking.
- Reheat slowly: Warm on low in a skillet or microwave to preserve the eggs’ tenderness.
- Prep in advance: These roll ups freeze well—freeze individually on a baking sheet before transferring to storage bags.
Substitutions And Variations
- Cheese options: Substitute cheddar with mozzarella, pepper jack, Swiss, or feta.
- Swap meats with alternatives like ham, turkey bacon, chorizo, or pre-cooked chicken sausage.
- Veggie boosters: Add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to mix in veggies.
- Herb twist: Add chopped chives, fresh parsley, or cilantro to your egg mixture for flavor.
- Spicy kick: Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or sriracha inside the roll-up for heat.
- Wrap alternate: Use a large low-carb tortilla if you prefer a sturdier wrap shell.
- Vegetarian option: Replace meat with veggie sausage patties or smoked tofu strips.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Place cooled roll ups in an airtight container; they’ll stay fresh for 3–4 days.
- Freezer: After cooling, freeze on a baking sheet, then store in freezer-safe bags—store up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Warm them up in a skillet or microwave until fully heated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade Breakfast Roll Ups
1. Can I make these ahead for meal prep?
Absolutely! These roll ups are ideal for meal prep. Cool them completely, then store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet until fully heated.
2. How do I keep the eggs from sticking?
Make sure the pan is preheated; then lower to medium-low, and use a nonstick spray or a small amount of butter.
3. What if I don’t have sausage patties or bacon?
No problem—substitute with ham, smoked turkey slices, or shredded cooked chicken. You can also add extra cheese or vegetables like peppers or mushrooms. A vegetarian version with veggie sausage or smoked tofu works great too.
4. Can I use leftover meats?
Yes! Leftover cooked bacon bits, shredded ham, or diced rotisserie chicken are perfect inside these roll ups.
5. Are there low-carb versions?
The recipe already includes minimal net carbs (2g). To reduce further, ensure you’re using low-carb sausage and cheese, and skip adding any higher-carb fillings.
6. How do I get perfect roll ups every time?
Keep the egg thin by swirling after pouring. Cook until slightly soft, then layer quickly and roll. Use a spatula to guide the egg and roll it neatly into shape.
7. Can I freeze them after rolling?
Yes! After cooling, freeze on a baking sheet, then store in freezer-safe bags. Reheat straight from frozen—just a little more time in the microwave or skillet.
8. Can kids help?
Yes! Kids can easily join in—let them add cheese, layer the meat, and help roll with adult supervision.
