Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Sausage
- 6 breakfast sausage links (fully cooked)
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Other
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready when the roll-ups are assembled.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended for a smooth and seasoned egg mixture.
- Scramble Eggs: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles on a clean surface.
- Assemble Roll-ups: Place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, then place one cooked sausage link on top.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly around the sausage, enclosing the filling completely.
- Bake: Arrange the roll-ups on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage links are fully cooked before assembling the roll-ups to avoid undercooking.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños to the eggs before cooking.
- These roll-ups can be wrapped individually and frozen before baking; bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
