Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Filling
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough and Topping
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces for even distribution in the rolls.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined for a flavorful scramble.
- Scramble Eggs with Sausage: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage and scramble together until the eggs are fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the sausage and egg mixture while still warm to allow the cheese to melt nicely.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as per package instructions.
- Assemble Rolls: Spoon a portion of the sausage and egg filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll each triangle up tightly toward the point, tucking in the sides as necessary to enclose the filling.
- Brush and Season: Place the assembled rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder if desired for added flavor and golden color.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Feel free to add chopped bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the egg mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated for a convenient quick breakfast option.
