Ingredients

For the Breakfast Rolls

1 package of breakfast sausage (12 oz)
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Gather all your ingredients before starting to make the process smoother.

Instructions

Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small pieces with a spatula. Remove from heat and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet and scramble until just set. Mix in the cooked sausage and cheese until melted. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Rolls

Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll package instructions. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the sausage and egg mixture at the wide end of each triangle, then roll them up tightly.

Bake

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake according to the crescent roll package instructions, usually about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve

Once baked, let them cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy your delicious breakfast rolls with your favorite sauce or dip!

Tips for Perfect Rolls

To achieve the perfect breakfast rolls, ensure that your crescent dough is chilled before you start assembling. Cold dough is easier to handle and will roll up more neatly. Additionally, make sure not to overfill the rolls; a spoonful of filling is usually sufficient to prevent spillage during baking.

Another tip is to brush the tops of the rolls with an egg wash before baking. This gives them a beautiful golden-brown color and adds a lovely sheen that makes them look even more appetizing.

Serving Suggestions

These breakfast rolls are delicious on their own, but you can elevate your breakfast experience by serving them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. A dollop of salsa or your favorite hot sauce can also complement the flavors beautifully.

For a cozy weekend brunch, pair these rolls with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing smoothie. This combination not only satisfies your hunger but also adds a touch of indulgence to your morning routine.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.

To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. If using a microwave, heat them in short intervals to avoid making the dough too chewy.
