Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes). If using links, slice them into halves or crumbles. Set aside to cool slightly.


Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the same skillet and scramble gently until just set. Do not overcook — they’ll finish baking in the oven.

Tip: For extra fluffiness, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the eggs while cooking.


Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Unroll crescent dough triangles onto a lined baking sheet. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, some sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up tightly toward the tip, sealing the edges gently.


Step 4: Brush and Bake

Brush the tops with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.


Step 5: Serve Hot

Cool slightly, then serve warm. The melty cheese and buttery dough make every bite irresistible!
