Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground breakfast sausage, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  2. In another bowl, scramble the large eggs in a non-stick pan until just set, about 3 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough, ensuring seams are pressed together. Roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness.
  4. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, then layer the cooked sausage, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Gently roll the dough into a log shape, starting from the long side. Slice into 1-inch rounds and place in a greased baking dish.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
  7. While the rolls bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, cook for about 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Add shredded cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. Once rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly and drizzle with cheese sauce.

Notes

Prepare the rolls the night before and refrigerate for fresh baking in the morning. Properly drain cooked sausage to avoid sogginess, and bake until golden brown, checking centers for doneness.
