Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Egg Filling
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough and Topping
- 8 refrigerated crescent roll dough sheets
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Cook Sausage: In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and transfer the sausage to a bowl.
- Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Scramble Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set, then remove from heat.
- Combine Filling: Stir the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the scrambled eggs until evenly mixed.
- Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 rectangles, pressing perforations together if needed to create solid dough pieces.
- Fill Rolls: Place a generous spoonful of the sausage and egg mixture on the wider end of each dough rectangle.
- Roll Dough: Roll each rectangle from the wide end toward the narrow end, tucking the sides in as you roll to enclose the filling.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the prepared rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
- Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use refrigerated crescent roll dough for convenience and easy shaping.
- Drain excess fat from the cooked sausage to avoid greasy rolls.
- Feel free to add vegetables like diced bell peppers or onions to the filling for extra flavor.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from hot fillings.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast.
