Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
Filling
- 6 oz turkey breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until it is browned and crumbled into small pieces. Once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Assemble Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Spoon a portion of scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly, enclosing the filling, and place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use low-fat or reduced-fat cheddar cheese for a lighter version.
- Green onions can be substituted with regular onions or chives.
- Make sure not to overcook the scrambled eggs; they will continue to cook slightly during baking.
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes or diced jalapeños to the filling.
