Kitchen Tools You’ll Need
This recipe doesn’t require fancy gadgets, just a few reliable kitchen basics to keep everything simple and stress-free.
- Medium nonstick skillet
- Rubber spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or cooking spray
- Measuring spoons
- Small bowl (for eggs)
- Oven mitts
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Scramble the eggs 🥚
- In a medium bowl, whisk 4 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs and gently push them around with a spatula until softly scrambled (still a little glossy, not dry).
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prep the crescent dough
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles on the baking sheet.
- Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on the wide end of each triangle.
- Add eggs & sausage 🌯
- Divide the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese slices.
- Place 1 cooked beef sausage link on top of the eggs on each triangle.
- Roll them up
- Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up over the filling, tucking as you go.
- Place each roll up seam side down on the baking sheet so they don’t pop open.
- Bake until golden ✨
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving (the cheese will be very hot!).
- Serve & enjoy
- Serve warm as-is, or with salsa, ketchup, or hot sauce on the side.
Pro Tips
- Make ahead:
Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture. - Freeze-friendly:
Wrap cooled roll ups individually and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through. - Protein swap:
Use chicken breakfast sausage or turkey sausage instead of beef if you prefer. - Veggie boost:
Add a spoonful of finely chopped bell pepper, spinach, or green onion to the eggs while scrambling for extra flavor and color.
