My breakfast roll ups started as a way to get my kids excited about breakfast but became a family favorite. The magic happens when flaky crescent dough wraps around fluffy eggs savory sausage and melty cheese. Perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekend brunches these handheld treats never disappoint.
Fresh From Your Kitchen
Making these roll ups at home lets me choose exactly what goes inside. I love knowing every ingredient is fresh and wholesome plus they cost so much less than store bought versions. Best of all I can adjust them to please everyone's tastes from my picky eater to my cheese loving husband.

Make Them Your Own
Try different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack add some veggies for extra nutrition. Going meatless? Plant based sausage works great too. Sometimes I drizzle maple syrup over the sausage gives a sweet and savory pop.
Fresh and Ready
Serve these beauties with salsa avocado or hot sauce. Keep leftovers in the fridge three days pop in freezer up to a month. Warm in the oven for that fresh baked crunch or microwave when you're in a hurry.

Sometimes I use crispy bacon or ham instead of sausage. Add some heat with jalapeños or make them festive with cranberries and brie. The possibilities are endless just follow your taste buds.
