Parchment Paper
Knife & Cutting Board
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cook Sausage: Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Slice links or crumble ground sausage. Remove excess fat and set aside.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Bake: Arrange on prepared sheet and bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
-
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.
