Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 3 (about 2 3/4 ounces) sausage links, cubed*
  • 1-2 large Tribelli Mini Peppers, any color, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 4 eggs, scrambled
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese**
  • 1 egg, beaten, if desired
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper, if desired

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Cube sausage links into small slices (I do this using kitchen shears). Chop the red pepper into small pieces. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, lightly salt and pepper, mix again.
  • Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium to high heat. Add the sausage and pepper, sauté, breaking up sausage with a spatula and cook until sausage is no longer pink.
  • Pour eggs into the pan with the sausage and pepper. Scramble eggs until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
  • Add the cheese to the eggs and mix.
  • Roll out crescents and add a generous portion of filling. Close edges of the crescent, roll up, pinch edges closed.
  • Place crescent rolls on a baking sheet. Brush tops and sides with beaten egg and sprinkle cracked black pepper on top.
  • Bake and 15-18 minutes, until golden.

Notes

*Can sub with 6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
**Any favorite cheese variety can be used.
FREEZER OPTION: Freeze after rolls are baked and completely cooled. To reheat, allow rolls to thaw and then bake at 350ºF until fully heated (around 8 – 10 minutes).
VEGETARIAN OPTION: To keep these rolls vegetarian-friendly, leave out the sausage.
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION: I used reduced fat crescent rolls and light cheese.
