Sausage, egg, and cheese wrapped up in a crescent roll? Yes please!

If your family is like mine, they love scrambled eggs, sausage, and some sort of roll or bread for breakfast.

My boys go crazy for the combo and it helps keep them full for more than a few minutes so this busy mama isn’t spending all day making food to keep their bellies full.

You can make this hearty meal fresh for them just about any Saturday morning or make a big batch, freeze them, and then let them enjoy a homemade midweek breakfast on the go.

Either way, your hungry family will thank you when you serve them these tasty rolls.

Ingredients

To make this hearty breakfast you’ll need:

Eggs – You’ll need large eggs, they can be either white or brown.
Salt & pepper – Add this to taste.
Crescent rolls – Use your favorite brand.
Breakfast sausage links – Pick your favorite brand and flavor.
Cheese – I love using American, but you can try other varieties as long as they melt well.

How to make

Making this hearty handheld breakfast is a snap! 

To do it, crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and discard the shells.

Scoop out, and reserve, roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of the egg whites.

Next, whisk the eggs together well. 

Then season the egg mixture with salt & pepper and then scramble on the stovetop.

Check out my tips for making the perfect scrambled eggs here. Set the eggs aside.

Pop open the can of crescent rolls and gently spread the dough sheet out onto a clean cutting board (affiliate).

Working carefully, separate it at the perforated lines into 8 individual crescent triangles.

Lay out a piece of the cheese on each dough triangle and then add a scoop of eggs, followed by one sausage.

Roll up the crescent rolls, as instructed on the package directions.

Next, transfer them to a greased baking sheet.

Use a silicone brush to brush the egg white evenly out over the tops and sides of all the rolled, filled crescents.

Bake the rolls at 350° for 15 to 16 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Finally, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

Serving and storing

These breakfast crescents are perfect served fresh from the oven.

Or you can make them ahead on the weekend for an easy to grab and go breakfast for a busy weekday morning.

I love to serve them with a side of fresh fruit, bacon, more sausage, orange juice, your favorite brew of coffee, and sometimes condiments like ketchup.

To freeze them, I recommend you place a piece of wax paper between them so you can easily grab one out at a time.

To reheat, I recommend placing in the microwave for about 30 seconds, but you may need longer depending on your microwave.

You can freeze them for up to 3 months or you can keep left overs in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips and tricks

  • Season the eggs to your liking if you want more flavor. You can add southwestern spices, some garlic, or a splash of hot sauce to give the eggs a bit of heat.
  • Use whatever kind of breakfast sausage you like. There really is no right answer for these. If you like a sweeter sausage, use that or if you prefer a spicy sausage, then use that!
  • Don’t skip the cheese! The tiny sliver melts and acts as a delicious glue that holds everything together during baking.
