- 1 pound sausage (your choice, spicy or mild) - 4 large eggs - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mix of colors for visual appeal) Sausage is the star here. You can choose mild or spicy, depending on your taste. Eggs add fluffiness and protein. Cheddar cheese gives a rich, creamy flavor. Bell peppers add color and crunch. - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - Salt and pepper to taste Garlic powder boosts the flavor of the filling. Salt and pepper are key to enhancing all the tastes. - 1 package refrigerated crescent dough rolls - Puff pastry alternatives Crescent dough rolls are easy to use. They roll out quickly and bake up nicely. You can also use puff pastry if you want a flakier texture. {{ingredient_image_1}} Start by preparing the sausage and vegetables. Take 1 pound of your favorite sausage and remove it from its casing. This could be spicy or mild, depending on your taste. Next, chop 1/2 cup of bell peppers into small pieces. I suggest using a mix of colors for a bright look. Also, slice 1/2 cup of green onions. These will add flavor and a nice crunch. Now, whisk the egg mixture. In a bowl, crack 4 large eggs. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Beat the eggs well until the mixture is smooth. This will be the base for your filling. Now, it's time to cook the filling. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook it for 5-7 minutes until it is browned and crumbled. If there is extra fat, drain it away. Next, stir in the diced bell peppers. Cook them for 2-3 minutes until they are soft. Then, pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently while the eggs cook for about 3-4 minutes. You want the eggs to be scrambled and fully cooked. When done, take the skillet off the heat and mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped green onions. This adds a delicious cheesy flavor. For rolling out the dough triangles, open your package of refrigerated crescent dough. Carefully separate the triangles. To fit the filling, roll each triangle wider by gently stretching it. Next, fill and roll the crescent rolls. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and egg mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll it up tightly from that end to the point. Tuck in the edges as you go to seal in the filling. Place the rolled-up breakfast rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the seam side is down. Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. This helps them turn golden brown. Bake in your preheated oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes. Once they are golden, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. To enhance flavor, use spices like paprika or cumin. These spices add warmth and depth. You can also try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick. To ensure perfect egg consistency, cook them on low heat. Stir gently as they cook. This method gives you creamy, fluffy eggs, not dry ones. For rolling dough tightly, start at the wide end and roll firmly. Tuck the sides in as you go. This keeps the filling inside and helps the roll hold its shape. To prevent leaks during baking, seal the edges well. Pinch the seams tightly. If you notice any gaps, use a bit of dough to patch them up. Pair your breakfast rolls with fresh fruit or a light salad. This adds color and balance to your meal. For presentation, serve the rolls warm on a platter. Sprinkle extra green onions on top. A small bowl of hot sauce adds a fun touch for dipping. Pro Tips Use Different Sausages: Experiment with various types of sausage like turkey, chicken, or even vegetarian options for a unique flavor profile. Customize the Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor. Brush with Egg Wash: For an extra golden and shiny finish, brush the tops with a beaten egg before baking. Make Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a quick assembly in the morning. {{image_2}} You can easily change the sausage to fit your taste. Try turkey sausage for a leaner option. If you want a vegan meal, use plant-based sausage. Both options work well. Cheese is another area where you can mix things up. Instead of cheddar, use pepper jack for a spicy kick. Feta cheese adds a nice tang if you prefer something different. Feel free to spice things up! Adding hot sauce to the filling gives a nice heat. You might also try some crushed red pepper flakes for an extra punch. Don’t forget about vegetables! You can add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini. Each veggie adds its own flavor and texture. Get creative and make it your own! If you own an air fryer, you can make these rolls quickly. Preheat it to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls in a single layer and cook for about 10-12 minutes. They will come out crispy and delicious! For meal prep, you can freeze these rolls. After baking, let them cool completely. Wrap them in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. They last for about three months. When you want to eat them, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them crispy and fresh. Enjoy! To keep your sausage egg breakfast rolls fresh, store them in the fridge. Use an airtight container. This helps keep them moist and tasty. You can also wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If you want to freeze them, place the rolls in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can. This keeps them from getting freezer burn. When it's time to eat, you can reheat your rolls in two ways. The oven works best. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10-12 minutes. This keeps the outside crispy. You can also use a microwave. Heat them for 30-60 seconds. Be careful not to overheat them. This can make them chewy. In the fridge, your breakfast rolls last about 3-4 days. If you freeze them, they can stay good for up to 3 months. Just remember to label your bags with the date. This way, you know when to use them. Yes, you can make these breakfast rolls ahead of time. To do this, prepare the filling and roll them up. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze them for later. Once frozen, transfer the rolls to a freezer bag. When you are ready to bake, you can cook them straight from the freezer. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time. This method saves you time on busy mornings. If you want to swap crescent dough, there are good options. You can use puff pastry for a flakier texture. Biscuit dough also works well for a more biscuit-like roll. A tortilla can be a fun choice too, giving a different wrap. These alternatives let you play with texture and flavor. You can easily change the filling to fit your taste. Try using turkey sausage for a leaner option. You can also add spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies. Change up the cheese too; mozzarella or pepper jack adds a nice twist. Hot sauce or spices can add heat if you like it spicy. Make it your own by mixing and matching ingredients!
