Scale
Main Proteins:
- 8 sausage links
- 5 eggs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Bread/Dough:
- 1 can (8 ounces / 226 grams) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Seasonings:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, creating an ideal environment for baking golden breakfast roll-ups.
- Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl, setting aside a small portion for glazing the pastry later.
- Scramble the remaining eggs in a skillet until they are fluffy and fully cooked.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean work surface, gently separating each triangle.
- Slice the cheese slices in half, positioning one piece centrally on each dough triangle.
- Distribute a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs atop the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
- Place a single sausage link at the wider end of each triangular dough section.
- Carefully roll each triangle loosely, encasing the cheese, eggs, and sausage within the soft pastry.
- Arrange the roll-ups on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving slight spacing between each.
- Delicately brush the exterior of each roll-up with the reserved beaten eggs.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of salt and pepper across the surface for enhanced flavor.
- Transfer the cookie sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the pastry achieves a rich, golden-brown color.
Notes
- Swap out protein by using turkey sausage or veggie sausage for a lighter breakfast option.
- Customize roll-ups with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Make ahead and freeze individual roll-ups wrapped in foil for quick weekday morning reheating in microwave or toaster oven.
- For gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent roll dough and ensure sausage is certified gluten-free to accommodate dietary restrictions.
