These Quick & Delicious Sausage Egg Breakfast Rolls are perfect for a busy morning! Fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and warm dough come together for a tasty treat.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Puff Pastry: This gives the rolls their flaky texture. If you’re out of puff pastry, you could use crescent roll dough instead; it will still taste great but will be slightly different in texture.
Eggs: The foundation of this dish! If you want to reduce cholesterol, egg whites can be a good substitute. Or, use a plant-based egg substitute for a vegan option.
Breakfast Sausage: I prefer using pork sausage for its bold flavor. However, you can easily swap it for turkey sausage or even a veggie sausage for a healthier or vegetarian choice.
Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar adds a creamy flavor. Feel free to switch it up with other cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack, depending on your taste.
How Do You Roll Puff Pastry Without Making a Mess?
Rolling out puff pastry can be tricky, but it’s easier than it seems! Here’s how to do it smoothly:
- Thaw the pastry completely before rolling; this keeps it pliable.
- Use a lightly floured surface and a rolling pin to prevent sticking.
- Cut the pastry into even rectangles for uniform rolls.
- Seal the edges well by pressing them together, so the filling doesn’t leak during baking.
With these tips, your rolls will look and taste fantastic! Enjoy your cooking adventure!
Quick & Delicious Sausage Egg Breakfast Rolls
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbles
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives, for garnish
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious breakfast roll recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time and 15-18 minutes of baking time. In total, you’ll need around 30-35 minutes to make these tasty rolls, perfect for a hearty breakfast!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your rolls from sticking and make for easy cleanup!
2. Scramble the Eggs:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring until your eggs are softly scrambled. Once done, take them off the heat!
3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry:
Take your thawed puff pastry sheet and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet into 4 equal rectangles, which will be the base for your rolls.
4. Fill the Pastry:
On each rectangle of puff pastry, layer the scrambled eggs, followed by the cooked sausage crumbles, and finish with shredded cheddar cheese. Yum!
5. Roll and Seal:
Now, carefully roll each rectangle, starting from one short edge. Tuck the filling inside as you roll, and be sure to seal the edges tightly so nothing leaks out during baking.
6. Prepare for Baking:
Place the rolls seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet. This helps them stay closed while baking!
7. Egg Wash Time:
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the tops of each roll to give them that beautiful golden-brown color.
8. Add the Finishing Touches:
If you like, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or chives on top, along with sesame seeds for an extra crunch!
9. Bake:
Pop the rolls into your preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is nicely golden brown and puffed up.
10. Cool and Serve:
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving them warm. They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Bon appétit!

Can I Use Other Types of Cheese?
Absolutely! While cheddar is a classic choice, you can swap it for mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a spicy pepper jack if you want an extra kick!
Can I Make These Rolls Vegetarian?
Yes! Just substitute the breakfast sausage with your favorite veggie sausage or add in sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and spinach for a hearty filling.
How Should I Store Leftover Rolls?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through for that freshly baked taste!
Can I Freeze These Rolls?
Definitely! You can freeze the unbaked rolls before egg washing. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, cook them straight from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
