Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 sausage links, cooked through
- 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
- 3 eggs, scrambled
- 1 (8 oz) container flaky crescent rolls
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp heavy cream
- Sea salt, to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll triangle with the widest end facing towards you. Evenly sprinkle shredded smoked gouda cheese over each triangle.
- Add Filling: Place one cooked sausage link on the wide end of each crescent roll. Then, spoon some scrambled eggs onto the crescent roll just below the sausage.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wide end, carefully roll up each crescent roll, tucking in any cheese or eggs that might fall out as you go. Place each filled roll on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Brush this egg wash over the tops of the crescent rolls for a shiny, golden finish. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each roll.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use smoked gouda for a rich and smoky flavor, or swap with cheddar or mozzarella if preferred.
- Make sure sausage links are fully cooked before adding to the crescent rolls to ensure food safety.
- Scrambled eggs should be lightly cooked and cooled slightly to prevent soggy dough.
- Brush the egg wash carefully to avoid dripping onto the baking sheet, which can burn.
- Serve these crescent rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Can be prepared ahead and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
