How to Make Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

Making Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups is as simple as 1-2-3! You can whip these up in no time and have a delicious morning treat ready to serve. Here is how you can make them step by step.

Ingredients

1 package of crescent roll dough
2 cooked sausage links, crumbled
2 large eggs, scrambled
Shredded cheese (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your roll-ups bake evenly and come out perfectly golden brown.
Roll out the crescent dough on a baking sheet, making sure to separate the triangles.
In a frying pan, scramble the two large eggs until they are fully cooked.
Cook the sausage links until they are browned and crumbled into small pieces. Then, mix the scrambled eggs and crumbled sausage together in a bowl.
Take spoonfuls of the sausage and egg mixture and place them at the wide end of each triangle of dough.
If you like cheese, you can add a bit of shredded cheese on top of the sausage and egg mixture.
Start rolling the dough from the wide end and roll it up tightly to form your roll-ups.
Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious breakfast treat!

How to Serve Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

You can serve these roll-ups warm right out of the oven. They are great on their own or you can serve them with ketchup, hot sauce, or any of your favorite breakfast dips. You can also add fresh fruit or a simple salad on the side to make it a more complete meal. These roll-ups are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack throughout the day.

How to Store Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

If you have any leftovers, storing them is easy. Allow the roll-ups to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each roll-up in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, place them in a freezer-safe container, and they can last for up to a month. When you’re ready to eat one, just reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

Tips to Make Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

For a fluffier texture, whip your eggs before scrambling them. This will incorporate more air and make them light and fluffy.
Try adding some diced vegetables, like bell peppers or spinach, to the sausage and egg mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
Experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite. Cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack all make great options.
For spicy lovers, add some jalapeños or diced chili peppers to the sausage and egg mix.
Make a large batch on the weekend and have breakfast ready for the week. Just freeze them and reheat as needed.

Variation

You can easily customize this recipe to suit your taste. Use turkey or veggie sausage for a lighter option, or switch out the eggs for egg whites for a healthier choice. You can experiment with different dough types, such as puff pastry or biscuit dough, to create a new twist on the classic roll-up. You can also substitute the sausage with cooked bacon, ham, or even leftover chicken.
