Let’s Make It Together

In just a few simple steps, you can whip up these delightful breakfast rolls that are bound to be a hit with the whole family. First, we’ll take care of the savory filling, and while the rolls are baking, we’ll prepare a luscious cheese sauce that adds that extra touch of warmth. Trust me, it doesn’t get simpler or cozier than this.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 pound ground breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
10 large eggs, scrambled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough sheet (or crescent rolls unrolled and pressed together)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish

Step-by-Step Directions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s fully browned and crumbly. The savory aroma is delightful; set it aside to cool slightly.
In a separate pan, scramble the eggs, seasoning them generously with salt and pepper. Cook them until they’re fluffy and bright yellow; this should only take a few minutes.
Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface. Gently press the seams together to create a single sheet. Spread the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese evenly over the dough, embracing every inch.
Carefully roll the dough up into a log. With a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch rounds. Place them cut side up in a greased baking dish, making sure they’re cozily snuggled together.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up, filling your kitchen with that irresistible scent.
While the rolls bake, let’s create the cheese sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour until it bubbles. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the mixture smooths out. Add in the shredded cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
Once the rolls are out of the oven and just a bit cool, ladle that cheesy goodness over them. A sprinkle of chopped parsley or green onions brings a pop of color and flavor – it’s a pretty sight to behold!

When to Enjoy It

These delightful rolls are just as perfect for a cozy family breakfast as they are for brunch gatherings with friends. Serve them with a side of fresh fruit or crispy bacon, and don’t forget a steaming cup of coffee or a frothy latte to warm your spirits even more. Just imagine everyone gathered around the table, smiling, and enjoying these delicious rolls. Whether it’s a festive occasion or a lazy Sunday, sprinkle in a little joy with each savory bite.

Keep It Fresh

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (though I can’t promise there will be any!), allow the rolls to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. They’ll taste just as good as fresh!

Betty’s Secrets

For extra flavor, mix in some sautéed veggies like bell peppers or spinach into the filling.
If you have leftover roasted potatoes, chop them up and add them into the rolls for added heartiness.
Don’t skip the cheese sauce! It elevates the dish with richness and creaminess that everyone loves.
Let the rolls sit for a few minutes before serving; this allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
For an extra crispy bottom, bake on a pizza stone!

Creative Twists

Try adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence for a different flavor profile.
In the fall, swap out the cheddar for a sharp white cheese and add a dash of nutmeg for a warm seasonal spin.
Experiment with different meats like chorizo or ham, and mix it up according to your family’s favorites!
