How to Make Breakfast Rolls with Turkey Sausage, Egg, and Cheese
Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 1/2 pound turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for brushing rolls)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. On each triangle, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a portion of crumbled sausage, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle, enclosing the filling.
- Place the assembled rolls on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, cheesy breakfast rolls as a convenient meal on busy mornings or a delightful addition to brunch!
