Who doesn’t love a hearty portion of eggs, sausage, and cheese made into a handheld crescent roll breakfast?
Breakfast crescent rolls are packed with scrambled eggs, sausage links, and loads of melty cheese in a light, flaky portable meal!
Holly’s Hot Takes on Crescent Bakes
- Flavor: Savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese offer a trifecta of flavor on busy mornings!
- Budget tip: Stock up on tubes of crescent rolls when they go on sale for handheld hot dogs, quick pizzas, easy desserts, and other breakfast recipes.
- Swaps: Use any leftover meat from the fridge instead of sausage, or tofu or black beans for a meatless meal.
Crescent Roll Breakfast Components
Crescent Rolls: A can of refrigerated crescent rolls creates a light and crispy wrapper for the ingredients. If you can’t find ready-made crescent rolls in your area, they’re easy to make from scratch.
Eggs: To save time, you can use liquid eggs or liquid egg whites for a higher-protein version.
Sausage: Pre-cooked breakfast links are a real time-saver in this recipe. You can also use pre-cut cooked ham, bacon (or turkey bacon), cut into strips or crumbled.
Cheese: Processed cheese slices are the perfect thickness and melt easily during baking. For the best flavor, avoid packages with the words “cheese product.” Instead, look for those labeled “cheese.” You can use any flavor of cheese on hand, even thin slices of Velveeta or cheddar.ew
Roll Up Recipe Twists: This is a great recipe to sneak in healthy veggies like shredded zucchini, or finely chopped spinach or kale. Spice it up and add some homemade taco seasoning or a few dashes of Tabasco to the eggs in Step 2.
