Ingredients

Base:

1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)

Filling:

8 breakfast sausage links or ½ lb ground sausage, cooked and crumbled

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese

½ tbsp butter

Optional Garnishes:

Hot sauce or salsa

Chopped green onions or chives


Equipment Needed

Baking Sheet

Skillet

Spatula

Mixing Bowl

Parchment Paper

Knife & Cutting Board


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cook Sausage: Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Slice links or crumble ground sausage. Remove excess fat and set aside.

  3. Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs with milk (if using) and season with salt and pepper. Melt butter in the skillet if needed and cook eggs gently until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.

  4. Assemble Roll-Ups: Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Add a small portion of eggs, sausage, and cheese to the wide end of each triangle. Roll from wide to narrow end, tucking sides slightly.

  5. Bake: Arrange on prepared sheet and bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

  6. Serve: Enjoy warm, optionally with hot sauce, salsa, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use Milk for Fluffy Eggs: A splash of milk or cream makes eggs softer.
  • Avoid Overfilling: Too much filling can make the rolls burst.
  • Seal Ends Properly: Tuck the dough edges for neat roll-ups.
  • Butter Brush: Melted butter on top gives extra golden, flaky rolls.
  • Serve Fresh: Best eaten warm, but reheats well for weekday breakfasts.
