Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 8 oz roll crescent rolls
  • 8 breakfast sausage links fully cooked
  • 4 slices deluxe American cheese cut in half

Instructions

  • Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl, discarding the shells. Scoop out, and reserve, roughly 1 1/2 tbsp of the egg whites. Whisk the eggs together until evenly beaten.
  • Season the egg mixture with salt & pepper, and then scramble. Set aside.
  • Pop the can and gently spread the crescent roll dough sheet out onto a clean cutting board. Working carefully, separate it at the perforated lines into 8 individual crescent triangles.
  • Lay out a piece of the cheese on each dough triangle. Add to that a scoop of eggs, followed by one sausage.
  • Roll up the crescent rolls, as instructed on the package directions. Then transfer them to a greased baking sheet.
  • Using a silicone brush, brush the egg white evenly out over the tops & sides of all the rolled & filled crescents.
  • Bake the rolls at 350° for 15-16 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Remove them from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • 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.
