Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sausage and Cheese Filling
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)
Dough and Finishing
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Make the Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are just set but remain soft and creamy. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough (or puff pastry) and separate it into rectangles or squares, pressing any seams together to fully seal and prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Assemble the Rolls: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, crumbled cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella cheese among the dough sections. Sprinkle chopped chives or green onions on top if using for added flavor and fresh color.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll up each dough section around the filling, tucking in the sides to fully enclose the ingredients. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to help keep them sealed while baking.
- Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter to promote golden browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rolls puff up and turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These rolls are great fresh or can be cooled and reheated for a quick breakfast anytime.
Notes
- Prepare the sausage, eggs, and cheese filling ahead of time to speed up your morning assembly.
- Substitute sausage with cooked bacon or a plant-based sausage for variation or to make it vegetarian-friendly.
- These breakfast rolls freeze very well; reheat in the oven or air fryer to enjoy later without losing flavor or texture.
