Description
Fluffy scrambled eggs, juicy beef sausage, and melted cheese wrapped in buttery crescent dough and baked until golden brown. These warm, savory breakfast pigs in a blanket are perfect for busy mornings, brunch, or meal prep.
Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
8 fully cooked beef breakfast sausage links
3 large eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby Jack, or preferred cheese)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
Optional dips: maple syrup, ketchup, hot sauce, or sriracha
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If using raw beef sausages, cook them in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter or oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook gently, stirring until just set. Stir in the shredded cheese and remove from heat.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Spoon a small amount of scrambled egg onto the wide end of each triangle. Place one sausage on top and roll tightly toward the narrow end.
- Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, ketchup, or hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Ensure scrambled eggs are not overly wet to prevent soggy bottoms.
Puff pastry can be substituted for a flakier texture.
Add spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes or microwave for 30–45 seconds.
Freeze after baking and reheat from frozen at 350°F for 15–18 minutes.
