# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
8 breakfast sausage links
02 -
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
03 -
4 large eggs
04 -
1 tsp milk
05 -
1 tbsp butter
→ Seasonings
06 -
¼ tsp salt
07 -
⅛ tsp black pepper
08 -
1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
→ Cheese & Topping
09 -
1½ cups shredded cheese (pepper jack and cheddar mix)
10 -
Grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. These breakfast roll-ups are going to be a hit!
02 -
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.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk 3 of the eggs with the milk until well combined. Reserve the remaining egg for brushing on top later.
04 -
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.
05 -
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.
06 -
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.
07 -
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.
# Notes:
01 -
These portable breakfast treats are perfect for busy mornings or feeding a crowd at brunch.
02 -
You can easily substitute the sausage with cooked bacon, ham, or even vegetarian sausage.
03 -
Pre-cooked breakfast sausage links save time and work just as well as cooking your own.
04 -
The combination of pepper jack and cheddar gives great flavor, but use whatever cheese you love most.
05 -
Make sure to use individual crescent triangles, not the sheet-style dough for best results.
