Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 8 sausage links
  • 5 large eggs

Bread and Cheese:

  • 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved

Seasonings:

  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a clean, ungreased cookie sheet for baking.
  2. Whisk eggs thoroughly, setting aside 2 tablespoons for glazing while scrambling the remaining portion until softly cooked.
  3. Carefully unroll crescent dough, separating each triangle with gentle precision.
  4. Layer each triangle with a half slice of cheese, creating a foundation for the filling.
  5. Distribute scrambled eggs evenly across the cheese, ensuring consistent coverage.
  6. Position a single sausage link at the wide end of each triangle.
  7. Tightly roll each triangle from the wide end towards the point, encasing the filling completely.
  8. Arrange rolled wraps on the prepared cookie sheet, maintaining slight separation between each.
  9. Delicately brush the tops with the reserved egg wash, creating a golden sheen.
  10. Sprinkle a light dusting of salt and pepper across the wrapped surfaces for enhanced flavor.
  11. Slide the cookie sheet into the preheated oven, baking for 15-18 minutes until the dough transforms to a rich, golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and allow wraps to cool for a few minutes, letting the filling settle before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better texture.
  • For a lighter version, substitute full-fat sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives.
  • Try different cheese types like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor complexity.
  • Prepare these wraps ahead of time and freeze for quick weekday breakfasts, reheating in the oven or microwave for best results.
