Ingredients Breakdown

1 package of crescent roll dough
You can find this in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. The dough really adds a nice buttery flavor and flaky texture seriously, it’s the star of the show!
2 cooked sausage links, crumbled
I love using breakfast sausage for that classic flavor, but feel free to use turkey sausage, or even leftover chorizo if you’re feeling adventurous!
2 large eggs, scrambled
You know, bursting with protein! I like to scramble mine until they’re just set, so they’re still creamy when rolled up.
Shredded cheese (optional)
Absolutely optional, but let’s be real, cheese makes everything better! Go for cheddar, Monterey Jack, or whatever melty cheese speaks to you.

Let’s Get Cooking!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Trust me, this will set the mood for a delightful breakfast. It’s going to smell incredible soon!
Roll out the crescent dough on a baking sheet. You might want to line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. You should see those delightful perforations, just pinch the seams together to create a uniform sheet. Nothing like a little DIY at breakfast!
Scramble the eggs: In a medium skillet, crack your eggs and whisk them up in a bowl with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Heat over medium-low and scramble them until just set. Remember, we want them a bit creamy; don’t overcook! Stirring occasionally works best here.
Cook the sausage: In a different skillet, crank up the heat to medium and add your crumbled sausage. If you’re using fresh sausage links, just cook them until browned and heat through. Oh! And make sure to break them up with a wooden spoon while it cooks to get those glorious crispy bits!
Mix it all together: Once your sausage is browned and your eggs are fluffy, combine them in a bowl and add in your shredded cheese, if you’re using it. Stir gently and just until combined, don’t forget to scrape the yummy bits off the bottom of the skillet for added flavor!
Assemble the roll-ups: Grab your dough and spoon some of the sausage and egg mixture onto the wide end of each piece. Roll it up tightly starting from the wide end, just like you’d roll a burrito.
Bake: Arrange them seam-side down on your baking sheet, pop them in the oven, and bake for about 12-15 minutes, until they’re golden brown and puffed up. Your kitchen is about to smell like breakfast heaven!
Serve warm: This is key the best way to enjoy these babies is fresh out of the oven while they’re warm and cheesy.

Serving and Storage

What to Serve With This

These Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups are great all on their own, but you can pair them with:

A side salad for a light, fresh crunch
Fresh fruit to add a pop of sweetness
A dollop of salsa or hot sauce for a kick

Storage

How long it keeps: These roll-ups will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just pop them in an airtight container, easy peasy!

Reheating Instructions

Best method to reheat: Just toss them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. I like to use a paper towel over them to keep the moisture in. If you’re feeling fancy, you can reheat them in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to get that lovely crisp back!

Freezer Friendly

Yes! You can freeze these roll-ups before or after baking! Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and pop them in a freezer bag. They’ll freeze well for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and heat as mentioned above!
