Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
