Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground sausage
- 6 eggs
Cheese and Dairy:
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 block cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Herbs, Spices, and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 pack of egg wraps
- 1 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Instructions
- Sauté ground sausage in a skillet at medium heat until thoroughly browned, eliminating any surplus grease. Transfer cooked meat to a separate container.
- Prepare scrambled eggs in a pan, cooking until just set and maintaining a soft texture.
- Combine the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, diced jalapeno, hot sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl. Thoroughly blend all components to create a uniform filling.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to solidify and meld flavors.
- Spread egg wraps on a clean surface, carefully distribute the sausage-egg mixture across each wrap. Roll tightly, ensuring side edges are neatly tucked to prevent filling from escaping.
- Pour oil into a frying pan, heating to medium-high temperature. Carefully place rolls into hot oil, rotating periodically to achieve an even, golden-brown exterior, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Extract rolls using a slotted spoon, positioning them on paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving hot.
Notes
- Customize Spice Level: Adjust the heat by reducing or increasing hot sauce and jalapeno to match personal taste preferences.
- Prep Ahead Trick: Make filling mixture a day in advance to save morning cooking time and enhance flavor melding.
- Alternative Wrap Options: Use low-carb tortillas, gluten-free wraps, or lettuce leaves for different dietary needs.
- Healthier Cooking Method: Bake rolls at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of frying to reduce oil content and calories.
