Sausage Egg Cheese Breakfast Rollups wrap one cooked sausage link, creamy scrambled egg, and half a cheddar slice inside each crescent triangle. The eight portable rolls bake until golden and are easy to serve warm on a busy morning.

The recipe makes 8 rollups in about 28 minutes, including 10 minutes of preparation and 18 minutes of cooking. Keep the eggs slightly creamy before assembly because they continue cooking inside the dough.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • Main Ingredients

How to Make It

1.

1. Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture is smooth.

2.

2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage links, turning occasionally, until they're browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3.

3. Scramble the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring with a spatula. Cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, then remove from heat.

4.

4. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

5.

5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangular pieces. Place half a slice of cheddar cheese at the wide end of each triangle, add a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and top with one sausage link.

6.

6. Roll and Arrange: Starting from the wide end, roll each crescent toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling. Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

7.

7. Bake: Bake for 11-14 minutes until the roll-ups are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.

8.
