Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 large eggs
- ½ pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey), cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs and Sausage
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until just set but still slightly creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cooked sausage and turn off the heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the sausage-egg mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up tightly.
Step 4: Bake
Place the rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent messy spills—about one tablespoon of filling per roll is perfect.
- For extra flakiness, brush the tops with a little melted butter before baking.
- If using pre-cooked sausage, pat dry any excess grease before adding to the eggs.
Variations
- Veggie Lover’s: Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the egg mixture.
- Spicy: Mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes or use hot Italian sausage for a kick.
- Cheesy Deluxe: Use a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack for extra cheesiness.

Storage Instructions
Allow sausage egg breakfast rolls to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped rolls for up to 2 months and reheat from frozen in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Suggested Pairings or Serving Recommendations

Pro Tips
- Don’t overbake—the rolls should be golden and just done for the fluffiest texture.
- Make sure eggs are slightly wet when removing from the pan; they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
- Warm crescents dough for a few minutes at room temperature for easier rolling and less cracking.
FAQ
