🥐 With simple ingredients and easy preparation, these rollups are kid-friendly and versatile for any breakfast craving.


Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs

8 ounces of refrigerated crescent rolls

2 tablespoons of milk

8 sausage links

½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

1-Preparation Steps: First, gather all ingredients and utensils needed to streamline the cooking process. Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. This ensures your oven will be at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the roll ups, which is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior.

2-Preparation Steps: Next, cook the 8 sausage links fully in a skillet over medium heat. Turn them occasionally to ensure even browning on all sides. Once cooked through, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.

3-Preparing the Egg Mixture: While the sausage is cooking, crack the 4 large eggs into a small bowl and add the 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat the mixture well until thoroughly combined. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of this mixture to brush on the crescent rolls later for a beautiful golden finish.

4-Preparing the Egg Mixture: Scramble the remaining egg mixture in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Stir gently until soft curds form but the eggs remain slightly moist. Overcooking the eggs can make them rubbery, so remove them from the heat while they still look slightly underdone as they will continue cooking from residual heat.

5-Assembling the Roll Ups: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines. Place one cooked sausage link on the wide end of each triangle. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of scrambled eggs on top of the sausage, followed by a pinch of the shredded cheddar cheese.

6-Assembling the Roll Ups: Roll up each triangle loosely around the filling, starting from the wide end and working toward the point. Place each roll up on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them to allow for expansion during baking. This spacing ensures they bake evenly without sticking together.

7-Baking to Perfection: Brush the tops of each roll up with the reserved egg mixture using a pastry brush. This step helps achieve that beautiful golden color and adds a subtle shine to the finished product. Bake in your preheated 350°F oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

8-Baking to Perfection: The total preparation and cooking time is about 30 minutes, making this a relatively quick breakfast option. You’ll know they’re done when the crescent dough is puffed and golden, and any exposed cheese has melted and started to brown slightly.

9-Serving Suggestions: Allow the sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll ups to cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent burning your mouth on the hot filling. These roll-ups are delicious on their own but can be served with additional toppings or sides for a more complete meal.

10-Serving Suggestions: Consider serving them with fresh fruit, a side salad, or even a light yogurt parfait for a balanced breakfast. They also pair well with other breakfast dishes from our collection, like ham and cheese hash brown casserole for a weekend brunch spread.
