These Sausage and Egg Breakfast Rolls are easy and quick to make and the perfect grab-and-go-breakfast. Turkey breakfast sausages wrapped in crescent rolls with scrambled eggs and cheese, so easy and so good.
In case you thought I lost it when I posted my vegan breakfast burritos, I’m here to prove you wrong. Though I still stand by those vegan burritos because they are totally delish, here I am with a super easy recipe, if you even want to call it a recipe, for breakfast rolls with plain old sausage and scrambled eggs.
Though I couldn’t bring myself to use the original breakfast sausage links which pack 250 calories a little sausage, I did go healthier on you by using turkey breakfast sausages which only pack 100 calories a link. What can I say, I’m still on a health kick here, must be a summer thing.
You can use the crescent triangles directly to make these but I wanted to be different, so I cut my crescent dough into rectangles and filled them up then rolled them, which I thought were cuter, but that’s just me. Whatever is easier for you, go with that. The result, my friends, is fantastic, a delicious little sausage and egg roll.
Nothing is simpler, my friends. Fry some sausages, scramble some eggs and wrap them up in crescent rolls, which I must say, makes for the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. Oh yeah, did I mention they’re so, so good? Can’t go wrong with sausage, eggs and cheese.
Ingredients
- Butter – Unsalted so as to control the sodium content of our dish.
- Eggs – We’re using 5 whole eggs today! It may seem like a lot but we need lots of scrambled eggs for our recipe today.
- Flour – All purpose flour for working our store bought dough.
- Dough – Store bought Pillsbury crescent rolls are what I used today.
- Cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese for melty, ooey gooey cheese pulls.
- Egg – 1 beaten egg for egg wash.
- Sausages – We’re using turkey breakfast sausages.
- Seasoning – Salt and pepper.
Can’t Find Crescent Dough?
No worries! You can always make your own dough following my recipe right here. If that option sounds like a bit too much work, use puff pastry instead, which you can find in the freezer aisle.
How To Make Sausage And Egg Breakfast Rolls
- Preheat oven: To 375 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Scramble the eggs: Beat the 5 eggs in a bowl. Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Pour in the beaten eggs. As the eggs begin to set, gently pull the eggs across the pan using a spatula, forming large soft curds. Continue cooking, pulling, lifting and folding eggs, until thickened and there is no more visible liquid. Remove from heat.
- Work the dough: Sprinkle the flour onto your work surface then unroll the crescent dough over the flour. Roll it out a bit, if necessary with a rolling pin. Cut the dough into 8 rectangles, by first pinching the seams if necessary.
- Assemble the breakfast rolls: Top each rectangle with a couple spoonfuls of scrambled eggs, some of the cheddar cheese, and a sausage link. Roll up the rectangle and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Finish the rolls: Brush each roll with the egg wash, then sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
