Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Roll-Ups
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 cooked breakfast sausage links (pork or turkey)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for cooking eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the scrambled eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Heat a small amount of butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the roll-ups.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. On the wide end of each triangle, place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and add one cooked sausage link. Carefully roll up each triangle starting from the wide end, enclosing the fillings inside.
- Bake the roll-ups: Arrange the assembled roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the roll-ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with ketchup, hot sauce, or maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooked sausage links of your choice; turkey sausage is a leaner option.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with sautéed vegetables or a plant-based sausage alternative.
- Ensure the eggs are fully cooked but still moist for the best texture inside the roll-ups.
- These roll-ups can be reheated in the oven or microwave, though the crust is best fresh and crispy.
- Experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
