Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 8 sausage links
- 5 eggs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Bread:
- 1 can (8 ounces / 226 grams Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls)
Seasonings:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F, preparing a clean baking sheet.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl, setting aside 2 tablespoons for later glaze.
- Gently scramble the remaining eggs in a skillet until softly cooked.
- Carefully unroll crescent dough and separate into individual triangular sections.
- Slice cheese pieces in half, positioning one half centered on each dough triangle.
- Distribute warm scrambled eggs evenly across cheese-topped triangles.
- Place a single sausage link at the wide edge of each prepared triangle.
- Roll each triangle loosely from the wide end toward the pointed tip, creating compact roll-ups.
- Arrange rolled pastries on ungreased baking sheet, maintaining slight spacing between each.
- Delicately brush roll-ups with reserved beaten egg mixture.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of salt and pepper across the tops for enhanced flavor.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until pastries transform into golden, puffy delights.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to create fluffy, light scrambled eggs that won’t make the crescent rolls soggy.
- Use full slice of cheese for more melty goodness, allowing it to cover entire sausage and egg section.
- Roll triangles loosely to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking, giving a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Replace pork sausage with turkey or plant-based sausage for lighter, healthier alternative that maintains delicious flavor profile.
