Ingredients

Dough and Fillings

1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough The pre-portioned triangles save time and give a flaky finish when baked.
2 cups cooked sausage or non-pork alternative, crumbled Turkey or chicken sausage, or a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella) Feel free to switch cheeses to match your preference.
4 large eggs These bind and make the custard wash that soaks into the rolls.
¼ cup milk Any milk will do, including dairy-free options.
to taste salt and freshly cracked black pepper A pinch or two elevates the filling and wash.
optional chopped green onions or fresh herbs for garnish These add color and a bright aromatic lift to the finished rolls.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix together the cooked sausage or alternative, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
Place a spoonful of the sausage-cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up the dough starting from the wide end and place on a baking sheet.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, then pour over the rolls, allowing them to soak in.

Baking

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with green onions or herbs if desired.

Notes

These rolls can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. For long-term storage, freeze individual rolls.
