Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 5 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough and Fillings
- 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 8 sausage links
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the roll-ups evenly.
- Prepare Eggs: In a small bowl, beat all 5 eggs and then reserve 2 tablespoons of this mixture for brushing on the crescent rolls later.
- Scramble Eggs: Use the remaining beaten eggs to scramble them gently in a pan until fully cooked but still moist.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean work surface and separate it into 8 individual triangular pieces.
- Add Cheese: Cut each slice of cheddar cheese in half and place one half slice onto each triangle of dough.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese on each triangle, then place one sausage link over the eggs.
- Roll and Place: Loosely roll up each triangle starting from the wide end, enclosing the filling, and place the roll-ups seam side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each roll-up with the 2 tablespoons of reserved beaten eggs to help achieve a golden, shiny crust. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the roll-ups are puffed up and golden brown.
Notes
- You can substitute sausage links with cooked bacon or ham if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs.
- These roll-ups are best served warm but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack.
