Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Rolls:
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8-count
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ pound breakfast sausage pork or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers or onions
  • Hot sauce or salsa for dipping

Method
 

  1. Cook the Sausage:
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
  3. Scramble the Eggs:
  4. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cook over low heat, stirring gently until eggs are just set. Mix in cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
  5. Assemble the Rolls:
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll crescent dough and separate triangles. Spoon the sausage-egg mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll up tightly.
  7. Bake:
  8. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and bake for 12–14 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Cool & Serve:
  10. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Assemble rolls the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
  • Freezer-friendly: Freeze unbaked rolls and bake straight from frozen when needed.
  • Cheese swap: Use pepper jack or mozzarella for a flavor twist.
  • Add veggies: Bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach boost nutrition.
  • Reheat tip: Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crisp texture.
