Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 6 eggs, beaten
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Dough and Seasonings:
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lightly coating with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Heat the oven to a moderate temperature of 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough, gently separating each triangle on a clean surface.
- Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, positioning the pointed ends outward to form a circular design.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles until thoroughly browned and no pink remains.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, keeping the meat warm.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, whisking them together with milk, incorporating a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper for seasoning.
- Use the same skillet to gently scramble the egg mixture, stirring continuously until soft and barely set, avoiding overcooking.
- Distribute the cooked sausage along the wider base of each crescent triangle.
- Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage, then generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions on top.
- Carefully fold the pointed ends of each triangle over the filling, tucking them underneath to create a cohesive ring shape.
- Transfer the assembled ring to the preheated oven and bake until the crescent dough turns a rich golden brown and appears fully cooked, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set.

- Prepare ingredients ahead of time to streamline morning cooking and reduce prep stress.
