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