Sausage Crescent Rolls are a quick breakfast idea for busy weekday mornings, a lazy Sunday or even entertaining company. With only 4 main ingredients, you can whip this quick breakfast in no time at all.

Look no further for a quick breakfast idea! Sausage Crescent Rolls are an easy breakfast idea packed with protein. A breakfast of champions!

There is no debating it, breakfast IS the most important meal of the day! Think about it, you’ve just gone seven or more hours without sustenance. Its name hails from “breaking the fast.”

Why do so many people skip breakfast?

Mornings are hard. I get it. Not everyone jumps out of bed like Snow White with birds chirping and sometimes that extra slap of the snooze button for 15 minutes more shut eye is worth sacrificing breakfast.

With my quick Sausage Crescent Rolls you can hit snooze and still have a protein packed breakfast!

Whether you are making your Sausage Crescent Rolls the morning of or making them ahead of time, they only take 5 simple ingredients: Smithfield Fresh Breakfast Sausage, eggs, milk, cheese and refrigerated crescent dough.

With the time it takes to cook the sausage and scramble your eggs, the oven will be preheated and ready to bake.

Sausage Crescent Rolls also gives you the flexibility to make them the night before. You can cook your Smithfield sausage, scramble your eggs, even assemble your crescent rolls ahead of time.

Just bake in the morning! You can even freeze them after cooking and microwave for a super quick and easy meal!

Customize your breakfast crescent rolls by picking which flavor of Smithfield Fresh Breakfast Sausage to use: Maple, Bacon or Hometown Original.

From there, match a cheese or use what you have leftover in the deli drawer, a great way to use up those odds and ends! My personal favorite is Hometown Original with a sharp cheddar cheese.

Now the only question left to ask is…. Do you like your Sausage Crescent Rolls with or without ketchup?

Hubby and I don’t agree on this at all! I’m a hardcore believer that eggs should not be mixed with ketchup. Hehehe.

Ingredients

• 8 Smithfield Fresh Breakfast Sausage links
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
• 1 roll refrigerated crescent dough
• Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• chives for garnish, optional

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, season with fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
• In a medium skillet, heat the Smithfield fresh breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, rotating until fully cooked, approximately 5 minutes.
• Add the whisked eggs to the same skillet. The sausage renderings will flavor the eggs and prevent sticking. Stir while cooking to make scrambled eggs, remove from heat when eggs are firm. Remove the eggs and set aside.
• Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough. Equally divide the scrambled eggs, shredded cheese and one fresh sausage link into each crescent, roll it up and place it on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Baked for 12-14 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned. Remove and serve
