Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 5 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons beaten egg (reserved for brushing)
Fillings
- 8 sausage links, cooked
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) Pillsburyâ„¢ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the roll-ups to a golden brown.
- Prepare the eggs: In a small bowl, beat the 5 eggs, reserving 2 tablespoons of the beaten eggs for later. Scramble the remaining eggs in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
- Prepare the crescent rolls: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean work surface and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Add the fillings: Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on each triangle, then add a spoonful of scrambled eggs followed by one cooked sausage link on top of the cheese.
- Roll them up: Starting at the wide end, loosely roll up each triangle over the sausage, eggs, and cheese. Tuck in the ends if needed to keep the filling secure.
- Brush and season: Arrange the rolled-up crescents on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and promote browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the breakfast roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a hearty breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute sausage links with cooked bacon or ham if desired.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley inside before rolling.
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before assembling to prevent undercooking.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave for convenience.
- If you prefer spicier flavors, use spicy sausage or add a dash of hot sauce inside.
