Ingredients
To make these irresistible sausage egg breakfast rolls, you’ll need:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough

Ingredient Notes
The key to flavorful sausage egg breakfast rolls is using high-quality ingredients. Breakfast sausage adds a savory, slightly spiced flavor, while eggs provide a soft, fluffy texture that balances the richness.
Crescent roll dough is a convenient option that bakes up beautifully golden and flaky, but pizza dough works well if you prefer a heartier bite. Cheese adds that irresistible melt factor—cheddar for sharpness or mozzarella for stretch.
Step-by-Step Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

3. Prepare the Dough
Roll out the crescent or pizza dough and cut into rectangles or triangles.
4. Fill and Roll
Add sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese onto each piece of dough. Roll tightly into a log shape.
5. Bake
Place rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Serve Warm
Let cool slightly before serving.
