Are you tired of boring breakfasts? Wondering how to fuel your morning without standing over the stove for an hour? These Sausage Egg Breakfast Rolls may be your new morning hero! With buttery crescent dough, savory sausage, cheesy eggs, and a golden finish — this recipe brings a bakery-style breakfast right to your kitchen in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 can Crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 1/2 lb Breakfast sausage
- 4 Large eggs
- 1/2 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Milk
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step :
1. Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick pan, then add the egg mixture and scramble until just set. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare the Crescent Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press seams to seal into a flat rectangle.
4. Fill and Roll
Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs, sausage, and shredded cheese onto each triangle. Roll from the wider end toward the point.
5. Bake
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Serve warm and enjoy!
Variations
- Veggie Twist: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Spicy Version: Use spicy sausage and pepper jack cheese.
- Keto-Friendly: Use almond flour dough and skip the crescent rolls.
Cooking Notes
- Ensure eggs are not overcooked before baking to avoid rubbery texture.
- Cheese can be pre-mixed into scrambled eggs for an even melt.
- Can be prepped the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
Serving Suggestions
Pair these rolls with fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a green smoothie for a complete breakfast. Great for brunches, kids’ breakfasts, or even mid-day snacks!
Storing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave. For meal prep, freeze before baking, then bake directly from frozen for a longer bake time.
