• Servings: 6 roll-ups

Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 6 breakfast sausage links (fully cooked)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt & pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausage links until golden and warmed through. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Scramble the Eggs In the same skillet, melt butter. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper, then cook gently until fluffy and just set.
3. Assemble the Roll-Ups Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Add a spoonful of eggs, a sprinkle of cheese, and one sausage link. Roll tightly from the wide end.
4. Bake to Perfection Place roll-ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 15–20 minutes until golden brown and flaky. Serve warm.

Variations to Try

• Low-Carb Option: Replace crescent dough with low-carb tortillas.
• Gluten-Free Swap: Use gluten-free pastry dough for a celiac-friendly version.

Tips from Chef Emma

• Drain sausage well to avoid soggy dough.
• Don’t overfill the rolls—less is more for clean baking.
• Let them cool slightly before serving to avoid melted cheese spills.
• Wrap extras individually and freeze for easy reheating later.
