Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups are a quick and easy morning treat perfect for busy days. These roll-ups combine fluffy scrambled eggs, savory turkey sausage, and melted cheddar cheese all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough. Ready in under 30 minutes, they make a delicious and satisfying breakfast on the go.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 roll-ups

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Roll-Ups

  • 8 Pillsbury crescent rolls (1 can)
  • 2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 turkey breakfast sausages, fully cooked
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the roll-ups.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Beat together the 5 eggs, flour, salt, and pepper, then pour into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly scrambled but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the Pillsbury crescent roll dough and separate into 8 individual triangles on a clean surface.
  4. Assemble Roll-Ups: On each crescent triangle, layer a cooked turkey sausage, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll up each crescent from the wide end to the narrow tip, encasing the fillings. Press the edges to seal so the filling does not leak out during baking.
  6. Egg Wash: Brush the top of each roll-up with the beaten egg to give a glossy, golden finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for a satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the egg mixture.
  • You can substitute the turkey sausage with pork or chicken sausage as preferred.
  • To make these vegetarian, omit the sausage and add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers and spinach.
  • Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before assembling to avoid undercooked meat in the roll-ups.
  • Use fresh grated cheddar cheese for best melting and flavor.
  • These roll-ups can be wrapped individually and frozen; bake directly from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
