Step By Step Instructions

Cook the Sausage

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.

Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Scramble the Eggs

Melt the butter in a clean skillet over medium low heat.

Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the mixture into the skillet and gently scramble until the eggs are just set.

Avoid overcooking the eggs because they will continue cooking in the oven.

Combine the Filling

Add the cooked sausage to the scrambled eggs and gently stir until combined.

Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the rolls.

Prepare the Crescent Dough

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles according to the package directions.

Fill the Dough

Place a small amount of the sausage and egg mixture near the wide end of each dough triangle.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.

Roll the Dough

Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle toward the pointed end.

Place each roll on a parchment lined baking sheet with the seam facing down.

Bake the Rolls

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and completely cooked.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Variations To Try

Bacon Egg Breakfast Rolls

Replace the sausage with cooked and chopped bacon for a smoky flavor.

Sausage Pepper Rolls

Add finely diced bell peppers to the scrambled eggs for extra flavor and color.

Spinach Breakfast Rolls

Add chopped spinach to the egg mixture for a simple vegetable addition.

Pepper Jack Rolls

Replace cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a creamy flavor with a little extra spice.

Ham and Cheese Rolls

Use diced cooked ham instead of sausage and pair it with cheddar or Swiss cheese.

Freezing Or Restoring

Freezing

Allow the baked rolls to cool completely. Place them in an airtight freezer safe container or bag.

For the best quality, use within 1 to 2 months.

Reheating

Thaw frozen rolls in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat them in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

You can also reheat individual rolls in the microwave, although the pastry will be softer.

Recipe Notes

Cook the sausage thoroughly before adding it to the egg mixture.

Avoid overcooking the eggs because they will continue cooking during baking.

Let the filling cool slightly before placing it on the crescent dough. This makes the dough easier to handle.

Do not overfill the dough because the filling may spill out during baking.

Serve the rolls warm for the best flaky texture and melted cheese.
