Flaky crescent rolls filled with sausage, eggs, and cheese. Perfect portable breakfast for busy mornings or crowds.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • Main Components

  • Seasonings

  • Cheese & Topping

How to Make It

1.

1. Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. These breakfast roll-ups are going to be a hit!

2.

2. Cook the Sausages: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage links for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they're nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

3.

3. Prep the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk 3 of the eggs with the milk until well combined. Reserve the remaining egg for brushing on top later.

4.

4. Scramble the Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs and gently stir with a spatula until they're almost set but still slightly creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh chives, then remove from heat. They'll finish cooking in the oven.

5.

5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. Place them on your prepared baking sheet. On each triangle, place one sausage link, about 1 tablespoon of scrambled eggs, and a generous pinch of the cheese mixture.

6.

6. Roll and Seal: Starting from the wide end, roll each crescent up around the filling, making sure to tuck in the sides as you go. The filling should be nicely enclosed.

7.

7. Finish and Bake: Beat the reserved egg and brush it over the tops of the crescents for a beautiful golden finish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you like, then bake for 18-20 minutes until they're golden brown and puffy.

Extra Information

  1. These portable breakfast treats are perfect for busy mornings or feeding a crowd at brunch.
  2. You can easily substitute the sausage with cooked bacon, ham, or even vegetarian sausage.
  3. Pre-cooked breakfast sausage links save time and work just as well as cooking your own.
  4. The combination of pepper jack and cheddar gives great flavor, but use whatever cheese you love most.
  5. Make sure to use individual crescent triangles, not the sheet-style dough for best results.
