Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully browned.
- Drain any excess grease and set the cooked sausage aside in a medium bowl.
- In the same skillet, whisk the large eggs and cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally until they are fully set and fluffy.
Assembly
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto your prepared baking sheet, separating the triangles.
- Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Next, layer the cooked scrambled eggs on top of the sausage.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Starting from the wide end, gently roll up each crescent roll to enclose the filling and form a compact roll-up.
Baking
- Bake the roll-ups for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups cool for a few minutes before serving, then garnish with fresh chives if desired.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the eggs while cooking. These roll-ups can also be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave. They are great for meal prepping!
