Ingredients Notes For Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups:

    • Sausage: Breakfast sausage links, patties, or crumbled sausage.
    • Eggs: Lightly beaten for scrambled eggs.
    • Cheese: Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite cheese.
    • Tortillas: Flour tortillas, burrito-sized for easy rolling.
    • Milk: Optional, to make the eggs extra fluffy.
    • Salt and Pepper: To taste.
  • Butter or Oil: For cooking the eggs and sausage.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Diced onions, bell peppers, spinach, or salsa for extra flavor.

Recipe Steps:

    1. Cook the Sausage:
        • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

    2. Scramble the Eggs:
      • In a bowl, beat 6 large eggs with a splash of milk (if using) and a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter or heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
  1. Warm the Tortillas:
    • Warm 6 large flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
  2. Assemble the Roll-Ups:
      • Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a portion of the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese down the center of the tortilla. Add any optional add-ins if desired.

    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
  3. Optional: Heat the Roll-Ups:
    • For extra warmth and melted cheese, place the assembled roll-ups back in the skillet seam side down. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
    1. Serve:
      • Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a portable breakfast option.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can 8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough
    • 2 tablespoons butter melted (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish

    Instructions

      • Preheat the Oven:

      • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
      • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
      • Cook the Sausage:

      • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
      • Scramble the Eggs:
      • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

      • In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny. Remove from heat and set aside.
      • Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough:
      • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.

      • On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch each triangle to make them slightly larger.
      • Assemble the Roll-Ups:
      • Place a small amount of cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.

      • Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and tuck in the sides to seal the filling inside.
      • Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
      • Bake:

      • Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter, if desired.
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
