Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is the first step toward making these delicious roll-ups. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 sausage links
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated crescent rolls
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish
If you’re looking to switch things up, you can use turkey sausage instead of pork, or try a different type of cheese like Monterey Jack for a milder flavor. These small adjustments can make the roll-ups fit perfectly into your family’s preferences.
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating these delicious roll-ups:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the sausage links over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into eight triangles. Place a slice of cheese on each triangle.
- Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto the cheese, then place a sausage link on top. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and place each roll-up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let them cool slightly before serving.
These steps are easy to follow, and with a little practice, you’ll find your rhythm in the kitchen, just like Mama Lou taught me.
