Step-by-Step Directions for Breakfast Rolls with Turkey Sausage Egg and Cheese
Prep the Ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground turkey sausage until golden and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until eggs are just softly scrambled (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
Assemble the Rolls
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and about 1 tablespoon shredded cheese at the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle with chives if using.
- Roll up each triangle from the wide end, tucking in sides as you roll to keep filling inside. Place rolls tip-side-down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake to Perfection
- Brush rolls with melted butter. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving!
