Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls:
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
Sausage Filling:
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set but still soft.
- Assemble the rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. On the wide end of each triangle, layer a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a pinch of shredded cheese, and one sausage link. Roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point.
- Bake: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can make these ahead and refrigerate or freeze before baking.
- For a spicier version, use hot sausage or add a dash of hot sauce to the eggs.
