1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage

Cook breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. If using sausage links, chop them into small pieces after cooking. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet.
Pour in the eggs and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring until soft, fluffy, and slightly underdone.
The eggs will finish cooking in the oven, so avoid overcooking them here.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 4: Prepare the Crescent Rolls

Open the crescent roll can and separate the dough into individual triangles.
Lay them flat on the baking sheet with the wide end facing you—this will help hold the filling.

Step 5: Assemble the Roll-Ups

Sprinkle a spoonful of scrambled eggs on the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Add sausage on top, then a generous pinch of shredded cheese.
Roll the crescent dough tightly from the wide end toward the tip, encasing the filling.
Place each roll-up seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 6: Add Toppings (Optional)

Brush each roll-up with melted butter for a golden finish.
Sprinkle with everything seasoning, garlic powder, or sesame seeds if desired.

Step 7: Bake Until Golden

Bake the roll-ups for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overstuff the crescent dough or it may burst open during baking.
Scrambling the eggs until slightly soft ensures they stay creamy inside the roll-up.
Place roll-ups seam-side down so the filling stays inside.
Every oven is different—check at 12 minutes.
Browning too quickly? Tent with foil to prevent over-browning.
