Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined for flavorful scrambled eggs.
- Cook the scrambled eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir continuously until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft for the best texture.
- Prepare the crescent dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
- Assemble the rolls: On the wide end of each crescent triangle, layer a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese, and one fully cooked sausage link.
- Roll the crescents: Starting from the wide end, roll each crescent dough tightly around the fillings and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the rolls with your choice of optional toppings such as sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or chopped parsley to add extra flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving warm for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can make these breakfast rolls ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or an air fryer for convenience.
- Swap the breakfast sausage for cooked bacon or a vegetarian sausage alternative to suit your dietary preferences.
- Add sautéed peppers or onions to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
