Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

Introduction

Few breakfast options can match the comforting combination of sausage, egg, and melty cheese, especially when they’re wrapped in a warm, golden pastry. Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups deliver all of these beloved flavors in a fun, portable package—perfect for busy mornings, brunch get-togethers, or make-ahead meal prep.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just want a handheld breakfast that doesn’t skimp on flavor or satisfaction, these roll-ups are delightfully easy and always a crowd-pleaser.

Why You’ll Love These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

The appeal of this recipe lies in its savory blend of ingredients and irresistible convenience. Each roll-up features fluffy eggs, hearty sausage, and gooey cheese, all baked within a soft crescent dough that’s crispy on the outside and tender inside. Best of all, they can be prepped ahead, stored, and reheated for quick, satisfying breakfasts all week long.

With simple steps and minimal prep, these breakfast roll-ups bring diner-level comfort straight to your kitchen.

Flavorful Fillings: How to Get the Perfect Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Mix

For optimal taste and texture, use quality breakfast sausage—either links or crumbles work, but browning ground sausage offers even coverage and great flavor. Scramble the eggs until just set for maximum fluffiness; overcooking can lead to dryness. Choose from cheddar, pepper jack, or your favorite meltable cheese for extra richness.

A reliable nonstick skillet, such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, ensures easy egg preparation and even sausage browning with zero sticking or cleanup hassle.

Assembling and Baking Your Breakfast Roll-Ups

Lay crescent dough triangles flat and fill each with a scoop of the sausage-egg mixture, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Rolling tightly ensures the filling stays put as the dough bakes to golden perfection.

Lining your baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup—especially important for cheesy, melty recipes like this.

Set your oven to the perfect temperature and bake until the edges are deeply golden. For extra crispiness, brushing tops with olive oil or egg wash gives the roll-ups a beautiful sheen and inviting texture.

Creative Ways to Serve and Store Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

Serve these roll-ups hot from the oven, alongside fresh fruit, hash browns, or a light green salad for a complete meal.

If meal prepping, allow them to cool completely before storing in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to retain freshness. They reheat perfectly in the microwave or a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, which restores their crispy edges and warm, gooey interior in minutes.

Nutritional Information and Serving Size

One roll-up (assuming 8 per recipe) delivers a balanced bite of protein, healthy fats, and carbs—typically around 225–275 calories, depending on sausage and cheese choice. For a lighter option, use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese or add sautéed vegetables for extra nutrients and color.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup and perfect browning.
2. In a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher until browned and cooked through. Remove and drain excess fat if needed.
3. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until just set. (Add optional veggies at this stage if desired.)
4. Unroll the crescent dough. On each triangle, spoon a portion of the sausage, then some scrambled egg, and top with a sprinkle of cheese.
5. Carefully roll up each crescent triangle, sealing edges as much as possible.
6. Place roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. For make-ahead mornings, cool roll-ups completely and store in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers. Reheat in a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 for best results.
