Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage links and cook for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and fully cooked. They should have a crispy exterior with no pink inside. Once done, remove the sausage links and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat the same skillet over medium-low heat and add a little butter to it. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs for about 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently until they’re softly set and fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Crescent Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles as indicated on the package, ensuring not to tear them as you prepare for assembly.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Take one triangle of crescent dough and place a cooked sausage link at the wide end. Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs on top of the sausage, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the tip, ensuring the filling stays inside, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Once all the roll-ups are assembled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time, ensuring the tops are perfectly crispy and lightly golden.

Step 6: Serve Warm
After baking, remove the Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm, optionally alongside salsa or your favorite breakfast sauce for an extra zing. These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh, bringing flavor and comfort to your morning!

Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups Recipe FAQs

How do I choose the right sausage for the roll-ups?
Absolutely! Look for breakfast sausage links that are freshly made or have minimal preservatives for the best flavor. If you prefer a lighter option or have dietary restrictions, turkey or plant-based sausage work wonderfully as substitutes, providing the same savory goodness.

What’s the best way to store the leftovers?
You’ll want to store any leftover Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or microwave until they’re warmed through. This way, you’ll enjoy that lovely flaky texture again!

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Very! You can assemble the roll-ups the night before, place them in a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Then, just bake them fresh in the morning as directed. This is a real game changer for busy mornings, allowing for that delicious aroma to greet you!

How do I freeze the roll-ups for later?
To freeze your Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups, first allow them to cool completely. Then, individually wrap each roll in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store them in a freezer-safe airtight container or a resealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, you can bake them straight from the freezer at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and crispy.

Are there any dietary restrictions I should consider?
When it comes to dietary considerations, be mindful of potential allergens such as dairy and gluten. You can use lactose-free cheese or plant-based milk for a dairy-free version. For gluten sensitivity, try gluten-free crescent rolls or tortillas as a substitute. Always check ingredient labels to ensure they’re safe for everyone in your family.

What can I do if my roll-ups are soggy?
Great question! If your roll-ups turn out soggy, it may be due to excess grease or wet ingredients. Make sure to drain the sausage well and limit the amount of liquid you add to the eggs. An easy fix for soggy bottoms during baking is to place the roll-ups on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate.
