Description
These sausage egg & cheese roll-ups are a quick, satisfying breakfast made with just five everyday ingredients. Fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese are wrapped in golden crescent dough for a portable, crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 large eggs
- 8 oz breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Optional: chopped spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, black pepper, chives, smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage (if not pre-cooked), breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly foamy. Pour into the skillet and cook on medium-low heat, stirring gently, until just set and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Do not overcook.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate into 8 triangles.
- On each triangle, spoon a small scoop of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of sausage, and about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Do not overfill.
- Starting at the wide end, gently roll each triangle toward the point, tucking in the filling as you go. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Check at 12 minutes; cheese should be bubbly and tops deep golden.
- Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Do not overstuff the roll-ups to prevent bursting. Take eggs off the heat while still glossy for best texture. Pinch seams tightly and place seam-side down to keep filling inside. For extra golden crust, brush tops with melted butter before baking. Can be made ahead and reheated. Adapt with veggies, different cheeses, or gluten-free dough as desired.
