Ingredients

6 breakfast sausage links (fully cooked)
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles as indicated on the package.
Step 5: Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the eggs.
Step 6: Place one cooked sausage link on top of the cheese on each triangle, then roll up starting from the wide end, sealing the edges.
Step 7: Arrange the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, until they are golden brown and puffed.
Step 8: Serve warm and enjoy your tasty breakfast roll-ups!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or a dash of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs before assembling.
Substitute cheddar cheese with pepper jack or mozzarella for a different twist.
Use turkey sausage links for a leaner option.
These roll-ups can be made ahead and frozen before baking. Just bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to restore crispness.

How to Serve

The image shows two crossover rolls cut in half and placed on a white plate with blue floral designs. Each roll has a golden-brown flaky crust with a shiny finish. Inside, there are three layers: a top layer of soft, bright yellow scrambled eggs, a middle chunk of reddish-brown cooked meat, and a bottom layer of light beige flaky pastry. Small green herbs are sprinkled on the plate around the rolls and on top of the crust, adding a fresh touch. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use raw sausage instead of fully cooked links?

It’s best to use fully cooked sausage links to ensure the roll-ups bake evenly. If using raw sausage, cook it thoroughly before assembling to avoid undercooked meat.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Yes! Simply omit the sausage and add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms in its place for a tasty vegetarian version.
