Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 breakfast sausage links
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Preparation Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature and gently melt butter, creating a smooth cooking surface for eggs.
- Crack eggs into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and softly scramble until just set with a creamy texture. Transfer cooked eggs to a separate plate.
- Warm the oven to 375°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough, separating each triangle with precision.
- Position a generous portion of scrambled eggs at the wider section of each triangle, ensuring even distribution.
- Layer thin sausage slices atop the eggs, creating a protein-rich base for the roll-ups.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage, allowing it to complement the other ingredients.
- Gently roll each triangle from the wide end toward the pointed tip, carefully encasing the fillings and creating a tight seal.
- Arrange the prepared roll-ups on the greased baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry achieves a golden-brown hue and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from oven and let cool momentarily before serving these warm, savory breakfast roll-ups.
- Optional: Pair with a complementary dipping sauce for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Swap sausage with turkey or plant-based sausage for a lighter, healthier alternative that maintains delicious flavor profiles.
- Shred cheese finely to ensure even melting and prevent clumping inside the roll-ups during baking.
- Seal edges carefully when rolling to prevent fillings from leaking out during the cooking process, creating a cleaner and more appealing presentation.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss to customize flavor complexity and add unexpected taste dimensions.
