Ingredients
  

  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Chicken or beef sausage – 2 small sausages about 120–150g, sliced
  • Cheese cheddar or mozzarella – ½ cup shredded (about 50–60g)
  • Butter – 1 tablespoon for cooking
  • Salt – ¼ teaspoon or to taste
  • Black pepper – ¼ teaspoon
  • Garlic powder – ½ teaspoon optional but recommended
  • Paprika or chili flakes – ¼ teaspoon optional for flavor boost

Instructions
 

  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, checking for any shell pieces, and whisk them thoroughly using a fork or whisk for about 30–40 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth, slightly airy, and lightly frothy. This step helps create a soft, flexible wrap instead of a dense layer.
  • Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about a minute. Add the butter and let it melt completely, gently tilting the pan so the butter spreads evenly across the surface. This prevents sticking and adds a rich flavor to the wrap.
  • Add the sliced chicken or beef sausage to the pan in a single layer. Let it cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are nicely browned and slightly crispy on the edges. This caramelization adds a lot of flavor, so don’t rush this step.
  • Once the sausage is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate and set it aside temporarily. Keep the pan on the stove, as you’ll use the same pan (with all those flavorful bits) for the egg wrap.
  • Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, immediately tilting and rotating the pan so the eggs spread out into a thin, even, round layer—similar to a crepe. Keep the heat at medium-low to ensure the eggs cook gently without tearing or browning too quickly.
  • Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes until the bottom is set and the top is mostly cooked but still slightly soft and flexible. Avoid overcooking, as a dry wrap can crack when folding.
  • Place the cooked sausage back onto the center of the egg wrap, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sausage. Try to keep the filling concentrated in the middle so it’s easier to fold and roll neatly.
  • Using a spatula, gently lift one side of the egg wrap and fold it over the filling. Then fold in the opposite side, and carefully roll it forward into a burrito shape. Take your time here—if it’s not perfectly shaped, that’s completely fine.
  • Let the rolled burrito sit in the pan for another 1 minute on low heat. This allows the cheese to melt fully into a creamy texture and helps the burrito hold its shape. You can gently press it with the spatula for even heating.
  • Carefully remove the burrito from the pan and place it on a plate. Let it rest for about 30–60 seconds so the cheese settles slightly and the structure firms up. Serve warm while the inside is still melty and flavorful.
