If you haven’t yet had breakfast in egg roll form, you’re missing out! We started with a basic egg, sausage and cheese filling, but this egg roll recipe has endless, and we mean endless, potential. You could swap Cheddar cheese for pepper Jack and the sausage links for chorizo sausage to add some heat to breakfast. You could also swap the links for bacon or enjoy your egg roll with both bacon and sausage! Other fillings could include onions, red or green peppers, or green chiles. Start basic and go big—that’s our motto; and we took it to heart with these breakfasts, too.
