Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready to bake.
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and scramble them together. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Transfer the seasoned eggs to a skillet set over medium heat. Cook the eggs until they’re just set, stirring occasionally, then promptly remove them from the heat to avoid overcooking.
- Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean surface, then separate the dough into individual triangles.
- On the wide end of each triangle, place a small spoonful of the scrambled eggs, a generous sprinkle of crumbled sausage, and a handful of shredded cheese.
- Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the point, tucking in the filling as you go to create a seal at the edges.
- Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray and arrange the roll-ups on the sheet, leaving space between them.
- Pop the roll-ups into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re beautifully golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, allow the roll-ups to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving, so you don’t burn your tongue!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to mix and match ingredients according to your taste. Swap out the sausage for bacon or ham, or get creative with the cheese by trying pepper jack or mozzarella. For an extra touch, add some sautéed bell peppers or spinach to the filling for added flavor and nutrition. These roll-ups are also freezer-friendly; just freeze before baking, and bake them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to enjoy!
Cooking Techniques
This recipe involves straightforward techniques that are perfect for cooks of all levels. Scrambling eggs is a simple process; just remember to cook them gently to keep them fluffy. Rolling the crescent dough may take a little practice, but the key is to be gentle and make sure the filling stays inside. Baking until golden brown will give you that irresistible crispy texture, while ensuring your ingredients remain moist and flavorful inside.
