Ingredients Youll Need

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

Keep it simple Keep it happy If you want texture add a little diced onion or bell pepper If you are feeling fancy toss in some chives or hot sauce

Step by Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F Roll out the crescent dough on a baking sheet This gives you a clean canvas for filling and makes baking even heat simple
Scramble eggs in a skillet over medium heat Cook until fluffy Transfer eggs to a bowl Use a spatula to avoid broken bits Keep it soft not rubbery
Cook sausage in the same skillet until nicely browned Crumble or chop it as you like Combine sausage with scrambled eggs Mix gently so everything plays nice
Spoon sausage and egg mixture onto each crescent triangle Leave a little space near the edges so the dough can seal properly This prevents leaks and sticky pan moments
Roll up the dough from the wide end toward the tip Tuck the ends under if you want a neater package Press seams gently so they stay closed
Brush tops with a tiny bit of milk or melted butter for shine Sprinkle shredded cheese on top or tuck it inside if you prefer
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown Keep an eye on them The oven can be a little dramatic so dont let them go from perfect to toast in 30 seconds
Cool for a minute or two Serve warm and enjoy These are best fresh but still tasty the next day

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Thinking you do not need to preheat the oven Rookie move Preheat it to get that nice golden color
Overfilling the rolls If you pack too much the dough will leak and youll have breakfast ooze all over your pan Not cute
Letting the eggs get overcooked Cook eggs just until they are set and still tender They will finish a touch while baking
Forgetting to seal the seams Press the edges or tuck them under so the filling stays inside and not all over your oven rack
Not watching the bake time Ovens vary so check a minute or two before the timer to avoid overbrowning

Alternatives & Substitutions

Want to make swaps No problem

Use turkey sausage if you want leaner protein I like it for a lighter bite
Swap crescent dough for puff pastry for an extra flaky top It is a bit richer but totally worth it sometimes
Make it veggie friendly Use plant based sausage and add some sautéed mushrooms or spinach IMO that is a delicious swap
Skip the cheese or use a dairy free version if you need to avoid dairy I usually add a pinch of nutritional yeast for a cheesy vibe
Want low carb Try wrapping the filling in lettuce or using a low carb dough option For more low carb inspiration check out this creative bowl idea low carb egg roll in a bowl
