Description
These Sausage Egg Breakfast Rolls are the perfect make-ahead breakfast. Loaded with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese all wrapped in buttery dough, they’re baked until golden and served warm for a satisfying morning bite.
Ingredients
- 6–8 breakfast sausage links, chopped and cooked
- 5 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 can crescent dough (or puff pastry, biscuit dough)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- Optional: sautéed peppers, spinach, onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scramble the eggs gently, seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cook the sausage links or crumble them if using ground sausage. Drain excess grease.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles (or cut puff pastry into rectangles).
- Place a spoonful of eggs, sausage, and cheese onto each dough triangle.
- Roll up each piece, tucking the ends to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush tops with egg wash (1 egg + milk) for a glossy finish.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or store for later.
Notes
For a low-carb version, use almond flour dough or skip the dough and use egg wraps.
You can freeze these rolls after baking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or microwave for 1 minute.
Use plant-based sausage and vegan cheese for a vegetarian version.
Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for more nutrients.
