Ingredients & Notes

  • Sausage Links: Traditional pork breakfast sausages work great, but turkey sausage is a leaner option.
  • Crescent Roll Dough: Be sure to grab the pre-cut crescent triangles—not the full dough sheets.
  • Eggs & Milk: For soft scrambled eggs. Heavy cream can be swapped in for extra richness.
  • Cheese: A mix of pepper jack and cheddar adds both spice and sharpness, but feel free to use your favorite.
  • Chives or Green Onions: Add a pop of flavor to the eggs.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Use grated parmesan to top the rolls before baking for a golden finish.

How to Make It

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage links until fully cooked. Set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt some butter and cook your egg mixture until fluffy. Stir in chives or green onions.
  3. Prep the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough triangles and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Assemble: Add a spoonful of eggs, a sausage link, and shredded cheese to each triangle. Roll them up tightly from the wide end to the point.
  5. Finish: Brush each roll with a bit of beaten egg or reserved egg wash and sprinkle with grated parmesan.
  6. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Tips & Variations

  • Substitute sausage with chopped bacon or diced ham.
  • Use precooked sausage links to save time.
  • Try adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra veggies.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven for best texture.
