Equipment
- Skillet
- Oven
- Frying Pan
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 5 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 8 pieces Pillsbury crescent rolls (1 can)
- 2 ounces Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 8 links Turkey breakfast sausages (fully cooked)
- 1 large Egg (beaten for egg wash)
- ¼ teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat to keep the rolls from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, beat 5 eggs together until well mixed. Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it’s melted and foamy. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir, allowing the edges to set slightly.
- As the eggs begin to firm up, use a spatula to gently pull the eggs across the pan, forming large soft curds. Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still a bit creamy, then remove from the heat.
- On a clean surface, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Unroll the can of Pillsbury crescent rolls over the floured surface. If necessary, use a rolling pin to flatten it slightly.
- Once the dough is prepared, cut it into 8 rectangles, pinching the seams if necessary to ensure each piece is intact.
- Now it's time to fill those rectangles! On each one, add a generous spoonful of the scrambled eggs, a small handful of cheddar cheese, and a turkey sausage link.
- Carefully roll each rectangle up, making sure the filling stays inside. Place each roll seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between each other.
- For a lovely finish, brush the top of each roll with the beaten egg for that golden sheen, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Finally, bake the rolls in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the pastry is puffed.
- When done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious Sausage and Egg Breakfast Rolls warm!
Notes

- Tip 2: These can be frozen and reheated in the oven at 400F for 10-15 minutes.
- Tip 3: You can use any type of breakfast sausage that you like.
