Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cook the eggs: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble gently until just set, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly to make handling easier.
- Prepare crescent rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles as per package instructions.
- Assemble roll-ups: On the wide end of each crescent triangle, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Lay one fully cooked sausage link on top of the fillings.
- Roll and seal: Tightly roll up each crescent triangle starting from the wide end towards the point, fully enclosing the sausage, eggs, and cheese inside the dough.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescent tubes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm for a comforting and tasty breakfast treat.
Notes
- Substitute the sausage links with breakfast sausage patties, bacon, or plant-based sausage for different flavors or dietary needs.
- For extra flavor and decorative touch, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds before baking.
- These roll-ups are excellent for meal prep. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave.
