Ingredients

For the Filling

• 5 large eggs
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling the eggs)
• 6–8 fully cooked breakfast sausages (pork, turkey, or chicken)

For the Roll-Ups

• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
• 1 cup shredded cheese
  • (cheddar, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

Optional Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon milk (for fluffier eggs)
• Everything bagel seasoning (for topping)
• Chopped chives or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions — Step by Step

1 Prepare the Eggs

1. Crack the 5 eggs into a bowl.
2. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of milk (optional).
3. Beat well until fully combined.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan on medium heat.
5. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until just set and still soft — don’t overcook.
6. Remove from heat and set aside.

2 Prepare the Sausage

• If using pre-cooked breakfast sausage links, heat them in a skillet for a few minutes to brown lightly.
• If using raw sausage, cook until fully cooked through.
• Set aside.

3 Assemble the Crescent Roll-Ups

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
3. On each triangle:
   • Add a small spoonful of scrambled eggs at the wide end.
   • Add one sausage link on top of the eggs.
   • Sprinkle a generous pinch of shredded cheese over the sausage.
4. Starting at the wide end, roll each crescent tightly toward the point.
5. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Optional: brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.

4 Bake

• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden, puffy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

5 Serve

Serve warm with:
✔ Salsa
✔ Ketchup
✔ Hot sauce
✔ Gravy
✔ Maple syrup (yes — sweet + savory is amazing!)

Tips for Perfect Breakfast Roll-Ups

• Don’t overfill. A little filling goes a long way.
• Add shredded hash browns inside for extra heartiness.
• Use silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
• Make ahead: assemble the roll-ups the night before and bake in the morning.
• Freeze: They freeze great! Reheat in air fryer or oven.
