Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Filling
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled) or chopped bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Other
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir as it cooks until the eggs are just set but still soft and slightly creamy. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
- Assemble Rolls: Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Top with crumbled sausage or chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
- Roll and Place: Starting at the wide end, roll each crescent dough piece tightly around the filling, tucking in the filling as you go. Place the rolls seam-side down into the greased muffin tin or on the baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and make handling easier.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with sautéed vegetables, ham, or your favorite cheese variety.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
- Using a muffin tin helps keep the rolls nicely shaped and evenly baked.
- For a lower-fat option, substitute turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese.
