How to Make Sausage, Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Start by cooking the breakfast sausage in a pan over medium heat. Break it up into crumbles as it browns. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In the same pan, crack in your eggs and scramble them until just set. You don’t want them to be too dry since they’ll cook a little more in the oven. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs and cooked sausage onto the wider end of each triangle. Sprinkle with cheese, then roll them up tightly.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with melted butter. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Let them cool slightly before digging in. These are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven, but they’re just as delicious when reheated later!

Expert Tips and Tricks

Don’t overfill! Too much filling can make the roll-ups difficult to close and cause them to leak while baking.
Seal the edges well to keep the cheese and eggs from spilling out.
Brush with butter for an extra golden, crispy finish.
Make them ahead: You can assemble these the night before and bake them fresh in the morning.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

Cheese swaps: Try cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, or even feta for a different flavor twist.
Use bacon or ham instead of sausage if you prefer a different breakfast meat.
Add veggies like diced bell peppers, spinach, or onions for extra nutrition.
Switch up the dough: If you don’t have crescent roll dough, try using biscuit dough or puff pastry.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These roll-ups are perfect on their own, but if you want a complete breakfast, try pairing them with:

A side of fresh fruit for a light and refreshing contrast.
A simple green smoothie or orange juice for a boost of vitamins.
A hot cup of coffee or tea to start your day off right.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze: These freeze well! Wrap each roll-up individually in foil or plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Warm them up in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes or pop them in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble them the night before and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. You can also bake them ahead and reheat as needed.

Can I use store-bought scrambled eggs?

Freshly made eggs taste best, but if you’re in a hurry, pre-cooked scrambled eggs will work in a pinch.

What’s the best way to freeze these?

Let them cool completely, wrap them individually, and store them in a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or microwave.

Can I make these without crescent roll dough?

Absolutely! You can use biscuit dough, puff pastry, or even homemade dough if you prefer.
