Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Egg Filling
- 8 sausage links, cooked through
- 3 eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (smoked gouda recommended)
Crescent Rolls and Topping
- 1 (8 oz) container flaky crescent rolls
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp heavy cream
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF to prepare it for baking the crescent rolls.
- Assemble the crescent rolls: Unroll each crescent roll with the widest end facing you. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over each triangle. Place one cooked sausage link at the wide end of the dough, then add a spoonful of scrambled eggs on top of the sausage. Carefully roll the crescent roll starting with the wide end, tucking in any loose cheese or eggs as you roll. Place the assembled rolls on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Prepare and apply egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Brush the egg wash generously over the tops of the crescent rolls and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each to enhance flavor and promote a golden crust.
- Bake the rolls: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the crescent rolls hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked gouda with cheddar or Monterey jack cheese if preferred.
- Ensure sausage links are fully cooked before assembling for food safety.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- If desired, add chopped herbs like chives or parsley to scrambled eggs for extra flavor.
- For a lighter option, use turkey sausage and low-fat cheese.
