Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Up Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- optional chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper thoroughly to combine all ingredients uniformly.
- Scramble Eggs: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are just set and fluffy, then remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles, ready to be filled.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: On the wide end of each dough triangle, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, one fully cooked sausage link, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll the Dough: Carefully roll up each triangle starting from the wide end to the point, fully encasing the filling inside the dough.
- Bake: Place the assembled roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, optionally garnish with chopped chives or parsley, and serve warm for a satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the sausage with cooked bacon or vegetarian sausage alternatives for variety or dietary preferences.
- Try using pepper jack or mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- These roll-ups can be frozen after baking and reheated quickly for a convenient make-ahead breakfast option.
