- 8 links breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1 Crescent dough sheet or tube of crescent rolls
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and lining a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook your sausages as per package recommendations. If precooked, you can skip this, or just warm them up for a few minutes in a pan or in the oven. Let cool.
Whisk together the eggs and cream, adding a little pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.
Preheat a nonstick pan, or other skillet, over medium low heat. Add all but about 2 tablespoons of your egg into the pan. Reserve the remaining egg for an egg wash.
Cook the eggs until they are just set. They should still look a bit wet and shiny as they will cook more in the oven. Let cool.
Using a crescent dough sheet
Use a pizza cutter, or a sharp knife, to cut your crescent dough into 8 equal-ish squares.
Place a half a slice of cheese, a couple tablespoons of egg, and a sausage onto a piece of crescent dough. Wrap them up, crossing the corners over each other on top. Press the top flap down to seal.
Using individual crescent roll triangles
Start by unrolling the crescent rolls and cutting along the perforated lines to separate the individual triangles of dough.
Place a folded half slice of cheese, a couple tablespoons of egg, and a sausage onto the fat end of a crescent roll triangle.
Roll it up over the fillings and either tuck the end under or press it onto the top of the roll.
All sausage crescent rolls
Place all of the sausage crescent rolls on the baking tray and brush with the reserved egg.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds, pretzel salt, sesame seeds, or everything seasoning... or just salt and pepper.
Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes, and then enjoy.
These are delicious just the way they are or dipped in ketchup or homemade ranch dressing.
Meal prep: Assemble the rolls as directed, but instead of baking them right away, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and enjoying the freezer for up to a month. When you're ready to bake, add a few extra minutes to the baking time—no need to thaw!
Storage: Let them cool completely before storing. Store cooked rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: For the best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them in 15-20 second increments, but they might be a bit soggy.
