Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements – Makes 8 Roll-Ups)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 breakfast sausage links (or crumbled sausage)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Colby Jack)
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
(or 8 small flour tortillas, warmed) - Optional: chopped chives, hot sauce, or jalapeños for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links or crumbles until fully cooked and browned. Set aside.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
In the same skillet, melt butter. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet. Gently scramble until just set and fluffy. Don’t overcook!
Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
On the wide end of each triangle, layer a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a piece of sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese.
Roll up each triangle from wide end to tip, securing the filling inside.
💡 If using tortillas instead: roll like burritos and place seam-side down on baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake
Place the roll-ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm, optionally topped with chopped chives or a side of salsa, ketchup, or hot sauce.
