Can I prepare Sausage and Egg Roll Ups the night before?

Yes! You can prepare these roll-ups ahead of time by assembling them and refrigerating them overnight. Just make sure to cover them tightly to prevent the dough from drying out. In the morning, bake them according to the recipe instructions. This is a great option for meal prepping and saving time in the morning.

Can I use a different type of sausage in the recipe?

Absolutely! While breakfast sausage is the traditional choice, you can substitute it with other types of sausage, such as turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or even a plant-based alternative. The key is to use fully cooked sausage so it only needs to be heated through during baking.

Can I freeze Sausage and Egg Roll Ups?

Yes, Sausage and Egg Roll Ups freeze very well! To freeze them, assemble the roll-ups, but don't bake them. Place the unbaked roll-ups on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to eat them, bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add 4 whisked eggs and cook until they’re softly scrambled. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
Unroll the crescent dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the wide part of each triangle.
Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto the cheese slices, then place one cooked sausage link on top of the eggs.
Roll up the dough from the wide end, wrapping the eggs and sausage tightly. Ensure the seam is facing down to secure the roll.
Bake the roll-ups in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

Check doneness: If the dough looks too pale, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or oven until warm.
To make ahead, assemble the roll-ups and refrigerate overnight. Bake as instructed in the morning.
