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.

Do you pre cook the sausage before you put them in the rolls or let them cook in the oven while baking?
Yes, as mentioned in the instructions they should be fully cooked. I just fried them in a skillet.
I am referring to your recipe notes. If I am understand correctly, i bake, these, freeze them and then reheat in the oven. Do I have to defrost them first or bake them while still frozen?
That’s correct.
Do you bake from frozen or do you defrost then bake?
Do you mean if you make them ahead? You can bake them from frozen, they’ll just take a bit longer.
I used bagel seasoning instead of s&p on top and it proved to be a hit! Really amps up the breakfast vibes and looks pretty too!
