Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

These sausage egg breakfast roll-ups are a lifesaver on busy mornings when you want a warm, satisfying meal without fuss. Flaky crescent rolls wrap around savory sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and gooey cheddar cheese for a handheld breakfast that always hits the spot.

I threw these together on a rushed weekend morning and loved how everyone gathered around the table eager to dig in without any extra plating or dishes.

Ingredients

• Six fully cooked breakfast sausage links: These add a savory and slightly spiced flavor Choose plump and well seasoned sausage for the best bite
• Four large eggs with milk: Whisking milk into the eggs gives them a softer, fluffier texture Aim for fresh eggs with bright yolks to enhance richness
• Salt and pepper to taste: Seasoning is simple but crucial to bring out the flavors in the eggs
• One tablespoon butter: For cooking the eggs Adds creaminess and prevents sticking Use unsalted butter so you control the salt balance
• One cup shredded cheddar cheese: This melts beautifully and gives a sharp tang Look for freshly shredded cheese rather than pre packaged for better melt and texture
• One 8-ounce can of refrigerated crescent roll dough: Crescent rolls provide a flaky, buttery crust Pick dough with no cracks or dryness for best rising and flakiness

Instructions

Build The Oven Preheat:

Preheat your oven to three seventy five degrees Fahrenheit This ensures it is fully heated so the crescent rolls bake to a golden brown with a flaky crust

Prepare And Season The Eggs:

In a mixing bowl whisk together eggs milk salt and pepper until fully combined This creates a light and creamy scramble when cooked

Cook The Eggs:

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat Pour in the egg mixture Let it sit for about thirty seconds then gently stir with a spatula Cooking the eggs low and slow until just set gives a soft texture without dryness

Unroll And Portion The Dough:

Carefully unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface Separate into six triangles Handle gently to keep the dough from tearing

Add Fillings:

Spoon a generous amount of scrambled eggs onto the wide end of each triangle Sprinkle about two tablespoons of cheddar cheese on top

Place The Sausage:

Lay one fully cooked breakfast sausage link over the egg and cheese This adds the protein and savory center

Roll And Seal:

Starting at the wide end roll the dough inward toward the tip Seal the edges by pinching gently to make sure the filling stays inside during baking

Arrange And Bake:

Place the roll ups on a parchment paper lined baking sheet spaced slightly apart Bake for fifteen to twenty minutes or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown

Serve Warm:

Enjoy the roll ups right out of the oven They are best served warm when the cheese is melty and the crust flaky

I love how the cheddar cheese melts perfectly inside the warm crescent dough giving each bite that irresistible gooey texture This dish reminds me of lazy weekend mornings when my family and I would all sit down together and enjoy something simple yet comforting before the day started.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days Reheat in the oven at three fifty degrees for about ten minutes to keep them crispy Avoid microwaving if possible as it can make the crust soggy

Ingredient Swaps

Try swapping cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack or pepper jack to change the flavor profile Add some chopped green chilies to the eggs for a spicy twist Instead of breakfast sausage use cooked bacon or ham for variety

Serving Ideas

Pair with fresh fruit on the side for a balanced plate A simple green salad or roasted potatoes make this breakfast heartier Add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor

These rolls are just the right mix of convenience and comfort and have become a staple when mornings need to start right without the stress.

Scramble the eggs until just set and drain any excess moisture before assembly. Also, baking until the rolls turn golden brown creates a flaky, crisp exterior.
