Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Rolls

Kickstart your morning with these homemade Breakfast Rolls, packed with sausage, eggs, and cheese in flaky crescent roll bread!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 tubes (8-count each) crescent rolls
  • 6 Large eggs, scrambled
  • 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up as it browns, until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • On a clean work surface, lay out one sheet of crescent roll dough. Place the second sheet on top of the first. Roll the dough out to a 13×13-inch square, ensuring all seams are sealed and smooth. (If using seamless dough sheets, no need to seal seams.)
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked sausage from the skillet to the prepared dough, reserving the sausage drippings in the skillet for the gravy.
  • Top the sausage with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
  • Starting from the long edge of the dough, carefully roll it into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
  • Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
  • While the rolls are baking, prepare the gravy. In the same skillet with the sausage drippings, add the butter and melt it over medium heat.
  • Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently, until the mixture is golden brown.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk. Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the gravy, whisking often, until it thickens and is hot, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the breakfast rolls are baked, pour the gravy over the top.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
