Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Crescent roll dough (1 can, about 8 rolls)
-
Breakfast sausage (½ pound)
-
Large eggs (4)
-
Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella, about ½ cup)
-
Butter (1 tablespoon)
-
Milk (2 tablespoons)
-
Salt & pepper (to taste)
-
Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, bacon crumbles, green onions, hot sauce
Directions
I follow these steps for the best roll-ups:
-
I cook the sausage in a skillet until it’s browned and cooked through.
-
I whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, then scramble them until just set.
-
I unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
-
I layer scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese on each triangle, then roll from the wide end to the tip.
-
I bake the roll-ups until golden brown and serve them warm.
Servings And Timing
These roll-ups are ready in about 30 minutes. I typically get 8 roll-ups out of one can of crescent dough, using ½ pound of sausage and 4 eggs.
Variations
I often mix it up:
-
Try turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage for a lighter option.
-
Add veggies like bell peppers or onions for freshness and flavor.
-
Mix in different cheese types—mozzarella for meltiness or spicy pepper jack for a kick.
-
Skip the crescent for low-carb? Use tortillas or even egg wraps.
Storage/Reheating
I’ve found they store beautifully:
-
Refrigerate—they last a few days when stored in an airtight container.
-
Freeze—wrap them individually, then freeze for quick grab-and-go breakfasts later.
-
Reheat in the oven for a crispy exterior or microwave when I’m in a rush.
