Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Dough
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
Garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Scramble Eggs: Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles.
- Assemble Rolls: On each dough rectangle, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a portion of cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal securely.
- Bake Rolls: Place the sealed rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve the breakfast rolls warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- These breakfast rolls can be made ahead and frozen for convenience. To reheat, bake at 350°F for 10 minutes from thawed or 20 minutes if baking from frozen.
- Try different cheese varieties such as pepper jack or mozzarella for a unique flavor twist.
- Use pizza dough instead of crescent roll dough for a thicker crust option.
- For a healthier version, consider using turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese.
