These Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups are a deliciously savory breakfast bite with juicy sausage, creamy cheese, and fluffy eggs all rolled up in a warm, buttery wrap – the perfect way to start my day.

Why I Love This Recipe

I love how these roll-ups combine the classic breakfast trio—sausage, eggs, and cheese—into a convenient, handheld meal. They're quick to prepare, making them ideal for busy mornings, yet satisfying enough to keep me full until lunchtime. Plus, their versatility allows me to customize them to my taste, whether I want to add some veggies or switch up the cheese.

Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

5 eggs
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
4 slices (sandwich-size) Cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the Oven: I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Eggs: In a small bowl, I beat the eggs and reserve 2 tablespoons for brushing on the tops of the crescent rolls. I scramble the remaining eggs in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Prepare the Dough: I unroll the crescent dough onto a work surface and separate it into 8 triangles.
Assemble the Roll-Ups: I cut the cheese slices in half and place one half on each triangle of dough. Then, I top each triangle with a spoonful of scrambled eggs and one sausage link. I loosely roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point.
Brush with Egg: I place the roll-ups on an ungreased cookie sheet. I brush the tops of each crescent roll with the reserved beaten egg and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake: I bake the roll-ups for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Servings and Timing

Servings: 8 roll-ups
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Variations

Cheese Options: I sometimes swap Cheddar for Swiss, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack to change up the flavor.
Vegetarian Version: I omit the meat and add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
Spicy Kick: I add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the scrambled eggs for extra heat.
Herb Infusion: I mix in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill into the eggs for added freshness.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: After cooling, I store the roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To reheat, I place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, I microwave them on high for 30-60 seconds, though the oven method keeps them crispier.

FAQs

How can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

I prepare the roll-ups as directed, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, I bake them as instructed, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if needed.

Can I freeze the roll-ups?

Yes, I freeze the baked and cooled roll-ups in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, I transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 1 month. To reheat, I bake them at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

What type of sausage works best?

I prefer fully cooked breakfast sausage links for convenience. However, I can use any cooked sausage, including turkey or plant-based options, depending on my dietary preferences.

Can I use different types of dough?

Yes, while crescent dough is my go-to for its flakiness, I sometimes use puff pastry or biscuit dough for a different texture.

How do I prevent the roll-ups from becoming soggy?

I ensure the scrambled eggs and sausage are not overly moist before assembling. Also, I bake the roll-ups until they're golden brown to achieve a crisp exterior.

Conclusion

These Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups have become a staple in my morning routine. They're easy to make, customizable, and perfect for on-the-go breakfasts. Whether I'm feeding a crowd or prepping for the week, these roll-ups never disappoint.
