I saw a recipe for Sausage Crescent Rolls on Pinterest. It sounded and looked good. I happened to have a couple of tubes of crescent rolls in my fridge and time on my hands, along with no idea what I was going to make for dinner. I added scrambled eggs and some grated cheese on top to make it more like a breakfast bake.
It was a hit! Everyone agreed they wanted to have it for our Christmas Eve Breakfast Dinner this year. I LOVE this plan. I won’t be in the kitchen all night……the whole thing from start to finish takes at most 35 minutes. I’ll mix up some smoothies and Easy Gingerbread Waffles (another super easy and fast recipe), and we’ll call it good.

how to make crescent roll sausage and egg breakfast bake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brown sausage in a medium frying pan. Once the sausage is completely cooked, turn off the heat and mix in cream cheese until evenly distributed.
- Next, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a frying pan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Open crescent rolls and place 4 triangles together (making a long rectangle) on a baking sheet. Press out the perforated holes to seal as one piece. You want to fit two bakes on one sheet, so make sure you are leaving space for both. (See pic below.)
- Repeat with 4 more triangles, so you have two large, side-by-side rectangles of crescent dough.
- Evenly divide eggs and spread them on the two rectangles. Next, divide the sausage mixture and put it on top of the eggs evenly.
- Open the remaining tube of crescent rolls and use 4 triangles to make a large rectangle to top the sausage mixture. Press edges and seal.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking time.
- Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve.
- Enjoy!
Tips for making Crescent Roll Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bake
- If you like to do your big breakfast on Christmas morning but hate the time it takes, you can put this together the night before, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge until you are ready to cook it on Christmas Morning. If making waffles, the waffle batter can even be mixed up the night before.
- Scrambled eggs can be done in the microwave to make it extra speedy. Use a glass dish or bowl and cook the whisked eggs for 3 minutes. Stop and stir. If still wet, cook in 30-60 second intervals, stopping to stir in between each interval until eggs are completely cooked.
- When spreading the sausage mixture on top of the scrambled eggs, I found the easiest way to do this was by the spoonful because spreading the mixture is a bit difficult.
- Refer to the how-to photo collage above when forming “bakes.”
