Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Filling
- 8 sausage links, cooked through
- 3 eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
Crescent Rolls and Toppings
- 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 ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crescent rolls evenly.
- Assemble Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll dough triangle with the widest end facing towards you. Evenly sprinkle shredded smoked gouda over each piece. Place one cooked sausage link on the wide end of each crescent and add a spoonful of scrambled eggs just below the sausage.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up the crescent dough around the sausage and egg filling, tucking in any loose cheese or eggs to prevent spilling during baking. Place the assembled rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the crescent rolls, then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor and add a slight crunch.
- Bake: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly and melted. Serve the rolls hot for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use cooked sausage links to save time and ensure even cooking inside the rolls.
- You can swap smoked gouda for other cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella according to preference.
- Be gentle when rolling up the crescents to avoid the filling spilling out during baking.
- Brush with egg wash for a beautifully shiny and golden crust.
- Serve immediately after baking for best texture and flavor.
