Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional, for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the eggs until soft and fluffy. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs on the wide end of each triangle, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, then place one sausage link on top.
  • Roll each crescent tightly around the filling, starting from the wide end. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter if desired.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  • Let cool for 3–5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm with maple syrup, ketchup, honey mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Allow the eggs to cool slightly before assembling.
  • Don't overfill the dough to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Brush with melted butter for a glossy golden finish.
  • Everything bagel seasoning makes a delicious topping.
  • Pepper Jack cheese adds a spicy twist.
  • For best results, serve warm.
