Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat eggs in a small bowl, setting aside 2 tablespoons for brushing the tops later. Season the remaining eggs with salt and pepper.
Cook the seasoned eggs in a skillet, scrambling until just set. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough on a work surface and separate into 8 triangular pieces.
Cut each slice of cheese in half and place one half on each dough triangle. Top with a spoonful of scrambled eggs and one turkey sausage link.
Starting from the wide end, loosely roll up each crescent roll around the filling. Place seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of sausage?

Yes, you can use any type of fully cooked sausage you prefer, such as chicken sausage, or even vegetarian sausage.

2. Can I use a different type of cheese?

You can swap the American cheese for other melting cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss for a different flavor.

3. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls ahead of time, then cover and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Bake them when you’re ready to serve.

4. Can I use scrambled egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Yes, you can use egg whites for a lighter version of this recipe. The texture may be slightly different, but it will still taste great.
