Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

Introduction

Craving a hand-held breakfast that’s fast, satisfying, and packed with flavor? Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups are the perfect answer. These golden-brown roll-ups bundle morning favorites—savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese—inside a pillowy crescent roll, making them ideal for busy mornings or leisurely weekend brunches.

Not only are they crowd-pleasers at any table, but they also freeze and reheat exceptionally well, making breakfast prep effortless.

Why Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups Stand Out

Unlike a traditional breakfast sandwich, these roll-ups offer the convenience of minimal mess and maximum flavor in every bite. The sausage brings heartiness, the eggs add creaminess, and the cheese turns gooey and irresistible as everything bakes wrapped up in a warm, flaky crescent. Easily portable and endlessly customizable, they’re also a winning choice for meal prep or feeding a hungry crowd.

Making Perfect Egg and Sausage Filling

To achieve the ideal soft scramble, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk, season, and gently scramble on low heat. Crumble and brown your favorite breakfast sausage until cooked through.
Use a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to break the sausage up quickly and evenly for the perfect texture.

Transfer the sausage and eggs to a plate while you get the rolls ready. Shredded cheddar is classic, but mozzarella or pepper jack give a fun twist. Let the filling cool for a few minutes to prevent soggy rolls.

Assembling the Breakfast Roll-Ups

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the sausage and egg mixture, plus a generous sprinkle of cheese, at the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll up from the wide end to enclose the filling.

For a crisp, golden crust and easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. Secure each roll-up and arrange seam-side down on the tray to keep the filling in place.

Air Fryer or Oven? Baking Your Roll-Ups

You can bake these breakfast roll-ups in the oven or opt for perfectly crisp results in a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt. Use an air fryer to shave a few minutes off your cook time and give the crescent dough an unbeatable crispness.

Either way, you’ll end up with cheesy, savory, handheld breakfast magic in 15 minutes or less!

Serving Ideas and Meal Prep Tips

Serve your roll-ups hot alongside fresh fruit, or stash them in a Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container for quick breakfasts throughout the week. Enjoy with coffee on-the-go or pair with a salad for lunch.

For larger gatherings, double the recipe and lay them out on a sturdy Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White for a mess-free brunch spread.
