Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). The heat will make your kitchen feel cozy and inviting!
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs until they’re frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out all those wonderful flavors.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. Once done, remove them from the heat and set aside.
- Add the crumbled sausage and shredded cheese to the scrambled eggs, mixing everything together until the cheese is melty and incorporated.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, enjoying the sweet aroma of fresh dough.
- Separate the dough into triangles as indicated on the package. Each triangle is a pocket of potential deliciousness!
- Place a generous spoonful of the sausage and egg mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
- Start rolling each triangle up from the wide end toward the point, tucking in the filling as you go to keep it snug.
- Arrange each roll-up on the baking sheet with the points facing down to avoid unrolling during baking.
- Lightly spray or brush the top of each roll-up with cooking spray or oil to achieve that beautiful golden brown color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the roll-ups are puffed and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving, but not too long—these tasty treats are best enjoyed warm!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to customize your roll-ups with different add-ins like chopped vegetables, bacon, or other types of cheese! For an extra kick, a splash of hot sauce can liven up the filling. Serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
Cooking Techniques
Mastering the art of scrambling eggs is essential for this recipe. Cooking them over medium heat ensures they become soft and fluffy, without becoming rubbery. Also, using parchment paper not only makes for easy cleanup but also helps prevent the roll-ups from sticking to the baking sheet. Rolling the dough firmly around the filling will also help keep them intact during baking.
FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling the night before, and simply assemble the roll-ups in the morning for a quick bake. They also freeze well, so you can make a batch and reheat them for busy mornings!
What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, pop them in the oven to restore their crispy texture.
