These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups are everything you want in a morning meal — hearty, cheesy, and perfectly portable. Golden crescent rolls wrap around savory sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheese, creating a warm, satisfying bite that’s ready in minutes. Ideal for busy mornings, brunch gatherings, or make-ahead breakfasts, they’re comfort food made simple.
This recipe started on a rushed weekday morning when I wanted something filling but fast. Instead of juggling a pan of eggs and sausage, I rolled everything into one flaky crescent — and it became an instant family favorite. Now, these roll-ups are part of our weekend breakfast routine, and even my pickiest eater asks for seconds. They’re proof that a cozy breakfast doesn’t have to take all morning.

Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 4 breakfast sausage links, cooked and halved
