Easy Sausage Egg & Cheese Roll-Ups

I made these easy sausage egg & cheese roll-ups one morning when I wanted a breakfast that felt special but didn’t take much time so I wrapped scrambled eggs and sausage in flaky pastry and baked them until golden. The smell was irresistible, and the crispy layers with the cheesy, savory filling made every bite perfect.

Since then these roll-ups have become my go-to breakfast for busy mornings or weekend brunch because they’re portable, delicious, and always a hit with everyone. They taste like something you’d get from a bakery but are so easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Breakfast sausage – Savory and flavorful, the main filling.
• Eggs – Fluffy and soft, they add protein and richness.
• Shredded cheese – Melts perfectly, binding the filling together.
• Puff pastry sheets – Buttery and flaky, perfect for wrapping.
• Butter – Adds extra golden shine to the pastry.
• Salt and pepper – To season the eggs just right.
• Tools You’ll Need
• Skillet – To cook sausage and scramble eggs.
• Mixing bowl – For beating eggs before cooking.
• Whisk – To make the eggs fluffy.
• Baking sheet – For baking the roll-ups.
• Pastry brush – To spread melted butter over the pastry.

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by preheating my oven to 400°F to make sure it’s hot enough for the pastry to puff.

Step 2:

I cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet until browned and set it aside.

Step 3:

In the same skillet I scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until just set then remove them from the heat.

Step 4:

I roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut them into rectangles.

Step 5:

I place a small amount of sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese on one end of each pastry piece then roll them up tightly.

Step 6:

I brush the tops with melted butter and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and flaky.

Tips

I sometimes add a little hot sauce or jalapeños to the filling for a spicy kick. You can also swap the sausage for bacon or ham if you prefer. For a make-ahead version, assemble the roll-ups and freeze them before baking.

Ways to Serve

These roll-ups are perfect on their own but pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad. They also make a great grab-and-go breakfast when you’re in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use crescent roll dough instead of puff pastry?

Can I prepare easy sausage egg & cheese roll-ups ahead of time?

Absolutely, you can assemble them the night before and bake them in the morning.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to keep the pastry crispy.
