- 1 lb breakfast sausage - 4 large eggs - 1/4 cup milk - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (red and green) - 1/4 cup diced onions - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) When making sausage egg breakfast rolls, you need a mix of tasty and fresh ingredients. Start with breakfast sausage. It brings rich flavor and protein. Next, use large eggs for a fluffy texture. The milk helps make the eggs creamy. Shredded cheddar cheese adds a savory touch that melts beautifully. You can also add diced bell peppers and onions for extra crunch and color. These veggies boost nutrition while adding flavor. A little garlic powder enhances the taste, making every bite pop. Don't forget the crescent roll dough! It gives your rolls that flaky, buttery goodness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, fresh parsley can make your dish look pretty and bright. This simple mix of ingredients makes for a delightful breakfast treat. {{ingredient_image_1}} - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). - In a skillet, cook and crumble 1 pound of breakfast sausage over medium heat. It will take about 5-7 minutes for the sausage to brown fully. After cooking, drain any excess grease. - In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth. - Pour this egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage. Add 1/4 cup each of diced bell peppers and onions. Stir gently and cook over medium heat. You want the eggs to scramble softly. This takes about 3-4 minutes. Once done, stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until it melts. - Unroll the package of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. - At the wide end of each triangle, place a generous tablespoon of the sausage and egg mixture. - Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the point. Tuck the point underneath to keep the filling secure. - Place the filled rolls on a greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and flaky. - Ensuring sausage is fully cooked: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Crumble it well and stir often. It should brown and lose any pink color, taking about 5-7 minutes. This step is key for flavor and safety. - Perfectly scrambling eggs for texture: When making the egg mixture, whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour this into the skillet with the sausage. Stir gently as it cooks. This helps keep the eggs soft and fluffy, which is what you want. - Garnishing with parsley: Once the rolls are out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley on top. This adds a pop of color and a fresh taste. It's a simple way to make your dish look fancy. - Serving suggestions alongside breakfast items: Serve the rolls with fresh fruit or yogurt. These sides add brightness and balance to your meal. You can also offer a light salad for a twist. - How to store leftover rolls: If you have any rolls left, let them cool down. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for about 3 days. - Reheating instructions for best results: To reheat, place the rolls in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This keeps them crispy. You can also use a microwave for quick reheating, but they may not stay crispy. Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh bell peppers and onions for a vibrant flavor boost and better texture in your breakfast rolls. Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or spinach to tailor the filling to your taste. Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Cook the eggs until they are just set; they will continue to cook a bit while baking in the rolls. Experiment with Cheese: Try different types of cheese such as pepper jack or mozzarella for a unique twist on flavor. {{image_2}} You can swap out the breakfast sausage if you want. Try turkey sausage for a leaner option. If you prefer plants, veggie sausage works great too. For cheese, cheddar is classic, but feel free to get creative. Pepper jack adds a spicy kick. Swiss cheese brings a nutty flavor. Want more heat? Add spices like cayenne or your favorite hot sauce. For extra flavor, throw in some herbs like chives or cilantro. You can also mix in other veggies. Spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes can all work well. Just make sure to chop them small so they fit in the rolls. These rolls taste great on their own, but you can make them even better. Pair them with fresh fruit for a sweet balance. Yogurt is also a nice side that adds creaminess. For a fun twist, serve with dipping sauces. Try salsa, ranch, or even a spicy aioli. Each bite can be a new experience! Each serving of these sausage egg breakfast rolls has about 250 calories.
