- 5 eggs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Dough Ingredient:
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Seasoning Ingredients:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, preparing a clean baking sheet for the roll-ups.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly. Separate a small portion for glazing and set aside.
- Scramble the remaining eggs in a skillet until softly cooked and fluffy, removing from heat.
- Gently unroll the crescent roll dough, carefully separating each triangle on a flat work surface.
- Slice cheese slices in half, positioning one half centrally on each triangular dough section.
- Distribute a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs atop the cheese on each triangle.
- Place a single sausage link at the wider end of each triangular dough piece.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wider end, encasing the sausage, eggs, and cheese inside.
- Arrange the rolled-up triangles on the ungreased baking sheet, ensuring slight separation between each.
- Use the reserved beaten eggs to delicately brush the exterior of each roll-up.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of salt and pepper across the tops for enhanced flavor.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the rolls achieve a golden-brown appearance.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize Cheese Selection: Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss to add unique flavor profiles and personalize the roll-ups.
- Egg Preparation Tip: Slightly undercook scrambled eggs to prevent dryness during baking, ensuring a moist and creamy texture inside the roll-ups.
- Healthier Protein Alternatives: Swap pork sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based sausage links for lower-fat or vegetarian options without compromising taste.
- Make-Ahead Convenience: Prepare roll-ups in advance, refrigerate overnight, and bake fresh in the morning for quick, stress-free breakfast preparation.
