Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups – Quick & Easy Morning Treat! – mommyplates | easy breakfast

I fell in love with these Sausage Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups on a rushed school-morning when I needed something warm, portable, and delicious. My kids called them “breakfast sushi” and the whole family tucked into them while we plotted out the day. They’re a perfect little comfort food that feels special even on the busiest mornings. Crescent dough roll-ups have a place in American home cooking as a modern twist on handheld breakfast classics — think of them as cousins to pigs in a blanket and the beloved breakfast sandwich, but faster and fuss-free.

Who is this recipe for?

• This recipe is ideal for busy parents, commuters, students, or anyone who wants a fast, portable breakfast that tastes homemade.

Core ingredients overview:

• This dish combines flaky crescent roll dough, savory cooked sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and optional shredded cheese to create a quick, savory morning treat.

Tools & Ingredients

Tools

• Baking sheet – provides a flat surface for baking the roll-ups evenly.
• Nonstick skillet or frying pan – to cook the sausage and scramble the eggs.
• Spatula – for stirring and folding eggs.
• Mixing bowl – to mix eggs before cooking (optional).
• Whisk or fork – to beat the eggs.
• Measuring spoons (optional) – for salt/seasoning.
• Knife & cutting board – to cut sausage if needed.

Ingredients

• 1 package of crescent roll dough – convenient, flaky dough that bakes to a golden, buttery crust.
• 2 cooked sausage links, crumbled – provides savory, protein-packed flavor and texture.
• 2 large eggs, scrambled – adds fluffy protein and keeps the roll-ups satisfying.
• Shredded cheese (optional) – melts into the filling for extra creaminess and flavor.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet and separate into triangles following the package seams.
4. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, scramble the 2 large eggs until just set. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, cook or reheat the sausage links, then crumble them into bite-sized pieces. Drain any excess fat if needed.
6. Combine the scrambled eggs and crumbled sausage in the bowl. Stir in shredded cheese if using.
7. Spoon an even amount of the sausage-and-egg mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
8. Roll each triangle up from the wide end toward the narrow tip, tucking in the filling as you go.
9. Place the roll-ups seam side down on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
10. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve warm. Enjoy!

FAQ

Q: Can I freeze these roll-ups?
A: Yes. Bake them first, let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer on a sheet pan. Once firm, transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.

Q: What can I use instead of sausage?
A: Try cooked bacon, diced ham, turkey sausage, or a vegetarian sausage alternative based on your preference.

Q: Can I make these ahead for a busy week?
A: You can prepare the filling and keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days. Assemble and bake in the morning for best texture, or bake ahead and reheat.

Q: How do I reheat leftover roll-ups?
A: Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 8–10 minutes or in an air fryer until warm and flaky.

Tips & Tricks

• Don’t overfill the dough triangles; a modest spoonful keeps the dough from bursting while baking.
• Brush the tops with a little melted butter or an egg wash for a shinier, more golden finish.
• If using raw sausage, cook it thoroughly before mixing with the eggs; for speed, use precooked or leftover sausage.
• Keep an eye on the oven in the last few minutes — crescent dough can go from golden to too dark quickly.

Enjoy these roll-ups hot from the oven or wrapped to go — they’re perfect for a quick family breakfast or a grab-and-run meal. Always add
