How to Make Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.

Step 3: Add Fillings

On the wide end of each crescent triangle, add a spoonful of scrambled eggs. Top with a few slices of sausage and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Step 4: Roll and Bake

Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, sealing in the fillings. Place each roll-up on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Serve

Serve the roll-ups warm. Enjoy them as is or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, like ketchup, hot sauce, or a spicy mayo.

What to Serve with Breakfast Roll-Ups

These roll-ups are satisfying on their own but pair beautifully with:

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Yogurt parfaits topped with granola and berries.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Roll-Ups

• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause the dough to tear or leak.
• Seal tightly: Ensure the dough edges are sealed to avoid spills.
• Experiment: Mix and match your favorite cheeses and meats to keep things exciting!
