Sausage and Egg Breakfast Rolls – easy and quick to make grab-and-go-breakfast. Turkey breakfast sausages wrapped in crescent rolls with scrambled eggs and cheese.
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.
MY LATEST VIDEOSNothing 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.
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. You then proceed to bake these for about 15 minutes before you can finally sink your teeth into one of these. The result, my friends, is fantastic, a delicious little sausage and egg roll. Perfect way to start the day, if you ask me.

- 1 tsp butter
- 5 eggs
- 8 turkey breakfast sausages fully cooked
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 8 oz can of 8 Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 2 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
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.
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.
- 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.
- Brush each roll with the egg wash, then sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

How would you go about freezing these?
You can! I’d wrap them up in plastic wrap and then place them in freezer bags. To reheat, you could pop them in the oven, but I think I’d reheat them in the oven to make sure they don’t come out soggy.
Wondering if you could sub puff pastry for crescent rolls?
Yes you could! You’d end up with flakier rolls, they would be awesome!
Thank you so much for replying to my email. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Going camping. Will be using a Nuwave cooktop I have a pan cover. Can I do this using this method. Do I bake it for a short time & use the try pan to finish it? This cooktop cooks very fast. Leaving on Thursday. Please Help. If it doesn’t work It’s ok.
Hi Judy! Hard to tell, I’ve never used a Nuwave cooktop. I would probably bake these at home and then just use the cooktop to warm them up while camping.
Waaaooow
This is my husband’s new weekday breakfast favorite! I use vegan cheese, turkey sausage, egg beaters and low fat crescents. He thinks they’re the greatest to take and go. I love them too and I love how easy they are to make! The egg wash makes all the difference. I forgot it the first time and I definitely understand the need for it after making it a few times. The texture is much better!
So glad you and your husband are liking the sausage and egg breakfast rolls. They are a great treat to make for breakfast!
Love this! It’s just my husband and I and he is very picky about breakfast. I made these planning on having one left over so he could eat it tomorrow morning. That didn’t work out- he ate 3!!! Needless to say, I will be making these again. And I will also need to figure out something for tomorrow morning now:/.
I love your no need crusty bread! I am hooked!! My favorite so far is my version of honey,raisin,cinnamon:*) was wondering if you have made any with cheese and if so, what type of cheese do you suggest? Thank you for sharing all these delicious recipes
I have, with parmesan cheese, but you can also try cheddar cheese, or asiago cheese. YUM!
Do you think you could freeze these after cooking and then reheat one at a time?
You probably could, but they might be a bit soggy, can’t say for sure since I haven’t tested that.
This looks awesome and it’s a definite keeper. My daughter takes the GO train every morning to downtown Toronto and this is the perfect grab and go!! Thanks so much, i make so many of your recipes!!! Love, love 🙂
Hi Sue!! Yes this is perfect for taking on the train, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes. 🙂
I may have to add my turkey sausage to this! It would be a perfect on the go for work each day. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
