How to Make the Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Rolls
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Pre-heat your oven to 375°F (190degC) and then line the baking tray with parchment.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large, heavy skillet on medium heat, cook breakfast sausage until golden brown and cooked to perfection. Take it off the skillet and place aside.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Using the same skillet, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a portion of the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions if using.
Step 5: Roll and Bake
Roll up each crescent roll triangle, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the rolls cool for a couple of minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
