If you are looking for an easy grab & go low carb breakfast, try this sausage egg roll. Using the egg as the wrapper, you can make a bunch of these and freeze for a quick breakfast. Only 1.8g net carbs each.
The egg wrap has been a lifesaver low carb recipe for me. I use them to substitute for noodles, tortillas and crepes. Recently my lovely sister in law told me she makes them with sausages and I thought what a great idea! So today, thanks to Linda, I am making this low carb sausage egg roll. They are very simple and I like that you can freeze them for a quick grab & go breakfast. And they are only 1.8g net carbs per roll!
How To Make An Egg Wrap
The egg wrap is very easy. It’s just a beaten egg. That’s it. You want to heat up a small omelet pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil. You also want to heat up a large pan and spray that as well. Beat your egg (just 1) and pour into the small pan. Swirl the egg around to coat the whole pan. Then when it’s almost cooked but the top is still loose, flip it into the larger pan. Sprinkle cheddar cheese (for this recipe) and once it’s melted, slide it onto a plate.
How To Use Low Carb Egg Wraps
As I mentioned above you can use plain egg wraps to substitute for:
- noodles – check out this egg noodle with meat sauce recipe to see what it looks like. Just make a few and then cut them into thick “noodles”. Top with a hearty tomato sauce.
- lasagna – you can use the whole wraps as a lasagna-like noodle like this low carb lasagna recipe.
- wraps – roll up your favorite lunchmeat and fixings to make a sandwich wrap like this turkey herbed egg wrap.
- tortillas – this breakfast burrito also is a way to use the wrap as a tortilla.
- crepes – lastly I use these wraps as a savory crepe as in these creamy chicken crepes.
How To Freeze This Grab & Grow Breakfast
I made a few of these for when I need a quick breakfast. As you an see above I just placed them in a plastic takeout container and placed them in the freezer. However a better way would be to wrap them in some wax paper and store them in a baggie in the freezer. Then when you want one, just pop in the microwave for a minute or so and they should be ready to eat.
So this simple sausage egg roll recipe is essentially make a cheesy egg wrap and rolling up a big Italian sausage link. You can also use smaller breakfast sausage links, however you will want to use at least two per wrap. Feel free to experiment with spices in the wrap or adding fresh spinach. You can even try different flavored sausages and cheese combinations. The nutritional information for 1 roll is:

Sounds like a great idea, but does it get watery upon reheating?
Denise
Hi Andrew, it doesn’t really get watery but what I notice is that eggs when reheated do get a bit dried out. That doesn’t bother me but it may bother some. Hope that helps!
Loretta
Sounds delicious! I will definitely be trying this soon! Thanks you.
