directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a skillet, cook crumbled sausage until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper.

Scramble the eggs in a nonstick pan until just set but still soft.

Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.

Place a small amount of sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese at the wide end of each triangle.

Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point, enclosing the filling.

Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the tops with melted butter if desired for a golden finish.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
