Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, these rolls bake to golden perfection and are easily portable for on-the-go meals.


Ingredients

Breakfast Rolls Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for greasing)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a separate pan, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Lay the triangles flat on a clean work surface.
  5. Assemble Rolls: Place a spoonful of cooked sausage, some scrambled eggs, and a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center of each dough triangle.
  6. Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, tightly roll up each triangle, sealing the edges well to enclose the filling. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown on top and the cheese inside has melted.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious breakfast or brunch option.

Notes

  • You can substitute the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a vegetarian alternative if desired.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like diced bell peppers or onions into the scrambled eggs for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Make sure to seal the edges of the crescent rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • These rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
  • Use cheese varieties such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss to change up the flavor profile.
