- This dish combines crescent roll dough, cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and optional shredded cheese to create an easy, hand-held breakfast that’s ready in minutes.
Tools & Ingredients
Tools
- Baking sheet — supports even browning.
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat — prevents sticking and eases cleanup.
- Skillet or frying pan — for cooking sausage and scrambling eggs.
- Mixing bowl — to combine eggs and sausage.
- Spatula or wooden spoon — for stirring and folding.
- Whisk or fork — to beat the eggs.
- Knife and cutting board — to slice sausage if needed.
- Measuring cups/spoons — for accuracy if you add extras.
Ingredients (with benefits)
- 1 package of crescent roll dough — quick, flaky wrapper that bakes golden and saves time.
- 2 cooked sausage links, crumbled — hearty protein to keep you full through the morning.
- 2 large eggs, scrambled — nutrient-rich protein and versatile base.
- Shredded cheese (optional) — adds melty flavor and extra calcium.
- Salt & pepper to taste (optional) — enhances the overall flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently press seams together to form a single sheet. Keep the dough on the prepared baking sheet for easy filling.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links until browned and fully cooked. Crumble the sausage with a spatula and transfer to a bowl.
- In the same skillet, scramble the two eggs until just set. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired.
- Mix the scrambled eggs with the crumbled sausage in the bowl. If using cheese, stir in a small handful now.
- Spoon even portions of the sausage-and-egg mixture along the wide end of the crescent dough triangles (or across the sheet if using one-piece dough), leaving a small edge.
- Roll up each portion from the wide end toward the point, sealing edges gently.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy!
FAQ
Q: Can I freeze these roll-ups?
A: Yes — assemble and flash-freeze on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) and add a few extra minutes to the baking time, or thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as directed.
Q: What can I use instead of crescent roll dough?
A: Puff pastry or pre-made biscuit dough can work well as alternatives. For a lower-carb option, try baking the filling in wonton wrappers or using a keto biscuit recipe like this Easy Keto Sausage Cheddar Biscuits.
Q: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Swap the sausage for seasoned crumbled tofu, tempeh, or a plant-based sausage crumble and proceed the same way.
Q: How long will leftovers keep?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to keep the dough crisp.
Tips & Tricks
- Don’t overfill: Use modest portions of the sausage and egg mixture so the dough seals properly and bakes evenly.
- Slightly cool the filling before rolling: Very hot filling can make the dough soggy or difficult to handle.
- Make-ahead option: Cook and chill the filling the night before for a faster morning assembly.
- Pairing suggestion: Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. For more easy dinner ideas to plan around, check out this Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tortellini & Broccoli.
