Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 sausage links, cooked through
- 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
- 3 eggs, scrambled
Dough
- 1 (8 oz) container flaky crescent rolls
Glaze
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp heavy cream
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll with the widest end facing towards you and evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over each dough triangle.
- Assemble Filling: Place one cooked sausage link on the wide end of the crescent roll, then add a spoonful of scrambled eggs below the sausage on the dough.
- Roll Up: Starting with the wide end, carefully roll up the crescent roll, tucking in any loose cheese or eggs to keep the filling inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled crescent on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream to create an egg wash.
- Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sea salt for flavor and shine.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot for a satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use smoked gouda for a rich, smoky flavor or substitute with cheddar or mozzarella as desired.
- Cook sausage links thoroughly before adding to the crescent rolls to ensure safety and flavor.
- Scramble eggs lightly so they stay soft and don’t dry out during baking.
- Brush with egg wash to give the rolls a shiny, golden finish and enhance browning.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- These rolls can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, then baked fresh for breakfast.
