👩🍳 How to Make Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Scramble the Eggs
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
4. Fill the Roll-Ups
Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs to each triangle.
Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, then place one sausage link on top.
5. Roll Them Up
Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough around the filling.
Place each roll-up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
