Air Fryer Breakfast Roll Ups wrap soft scrambled eggs, a whole breakfast sausage link, and Colby Jack cheese inside flaky crescent dough. A maple-butter glaze brushed on near the end gives all eight rolls a glossy sweet-and-savory finish without burning.
The recipe makes exactly 8 roll ups in 25 minutes, with 10 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of cooking. The filled crescents air fry at 370°F for 7–9 minutes and rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Air Fryer Breakfast Roll Up Ingredients
For the eggs, measure exactly 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, kosher salt and pepper to taste, and 2 tablespoons butter, divided. One tablespoon cooks the eggs and the remaining tablespoon forms the glaze.
For assembly, use one tube refrigerated crescent rolls, 8 cooked breakfast sausage links, with maple flavor recommended, and exactly 4 Colby Jack slices cut in half. The glaze also needs 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
