Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 5 large large eggs Reserve 2 tablespoons beaten egg for brushing
  • 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls Contains 8 triangles
  • 8 links sausage links Fully cooked is easiest; raw requires extra cooking
  • 4 slices Cheddar cheese, halved 8 half-slices total; can substitute with American, Colby Jack, or pepper jack
  • Salt and pepper To taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl and reserve 2 tablespoons for brushing.
  • Scramble the remaining eggs in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set. Season with salt and pepper.

Assembly

  • Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate into 8 triangles.
  • Place half a slice of Cheddar on each triangle near the wide end.
  • Spoon a small mound of scrambled eggs over the cheese, then place 1 sausage link on top.
  • Starting at the wide end, roll toward the point. Tuck in the sides slightly if needed and place seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg and add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Baking

  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  • Let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
