Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 10 large eggs, scrambled
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough sheet (or crescent rolls unrolled and pressed together)

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Scramble Eggs: In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until just set to avoid drying them out, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured surface or press unrolled crescent rolls seams together to form one sheet. Gently roll the dough to even thickness.
  4. Assemble Filling: Evenly spread the scrambled eggs over the dough, then layer cooked sausage, and finally sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough into a log from the long side. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch rounds.
  6. Arrange Rolls: Place the rolls cut side up into a greased baking dish or parchment-lined sheet pan, leaving space between them to allow for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
  8. Make Cheese Sauce: While baking, melt butter in a small saucepan, whisk in flour and cook for about a minute. Gradually add milk, whisking continuously until thickened. Stir in cheddar cheese until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
  9. Serve: Spoon warm cheese sauce over baked rolls, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can prepare these breakfast rolls the night before, cover, and refrigerate before baking in the morning for a quick breakfast.
  • If preferred, substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • For a spicier twist, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Leftover rolls reheat well in the oven or microwave.
  • Use full-fat cheddar for a richer cheese sauce or reduced-fat for a lighter option.
