👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease and set aside in a medium bowl.
-
2
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet (over medium-low heat) and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat immediately.
-
3
Add the cooked scrambled eggs to the bowl with the sausage. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
-
4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing together any seams to form a single rectangle.
-
5
Spoon the sausage, egg, and cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
6
Starting from one long side, carefully roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal the roll completely.
-
7
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8-10 equal pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
-
8
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives or green onions, if desired.
💡 Notes
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite cheeses or cooked vegetables like finely diced bell peppers or spinach. For meal prep, assemble and freeze raw slices to bake directly from frozen, adding extra baking time.
