These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Rolls are perfect for a fast, on-the-go breakfast. Make ahead of time, freeze, then reheat when ready!
SAUSAGE, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST ROLLS
We finally started back to school here in our part of Virginia. We are after Labor Day starters here. Not gonna lie – it’s been a challenge to get back into the swing of things. We’re all a little slow in the mornings right now and breakfast is usually an afterthought. I made a bunch of FREEZER-FRIENDLY BREAKFAST BURRITOS for a quick breakfast but I wanted something new to add into our morning breakfast-on-the-go routine. And boy, have I found it in these little bites of goodness!

CAN I FREEZE THE BREAKFAST ROLLS?
Absolutely! They can all be made and baked ahead of time. Flash freeze them first on a baking tray. Then package properly (for freezer protection.) When ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave. These are wonderful for breakfast on the go. Hand it to your kiddo as they head out to the bus or in the car on the way to school.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
eggs
salt & pepper
refrigerated crescent rolls
cooked breakfast sausage links
American cheese
HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST ROLLS:
Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, whisk together eggs.
Reserve 2 tablespoons beaten egg for brushing on tops of crescent rolls.
Scramble remaining eggs (adding salt and pepper, to taste).
Unroll dough onto work surface; separate into 8 triangles. Cut cheese slices in half; place 1 half on each triangle.
Top each with spoonful of scrambled eggs and 1 sausage link.
Loosely roll up triangles as directed on can.
Place rolls on greased cookie sheet.
Brush reserved beaten egg on top of each crescent.
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over each. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Rolls can be frozen then reheated in the microwave for about one minute.
Cook’s Notes: Fully cooked, frozen sausage links can be used. Just cook them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to thaw.
Enjoy!

My 13-year-old son asked me to “make these all the time”. I didn’t put cheese on all of them. We aren’t big cheese- with-eggs lovers. Here’s the deal, I do not like to cook. I just do not have the patience for it. However since discovering your site, I have enjoyed trying new recipes. My son and husband thank you too 🙂 Keep up the awesome down-to-earth-real-food-on-a-plate recipe development please.
Hi, I did read anywhere that says how long they will last in the freezer
Hi Shari – no longer than about 3 months. 🙂
do you flash freeze these before bagging?
Hi Tammy! Yep unless you plan on bagging them in a single layer. If you need to stack them so you can fit a bunch into one bag, then flash freezing is useful. 🙂
The only problem is I do not see how to print them or save to a pdf
Hi Larry, if you look at the bottom of each recipe you will see a recipe in a printable format. Click on the “Print” button below the thumbnail photo.
What can I use instead of cresent rolls as I can’t find them here? Would puff or shortcrust pastry work?
These really are simple and freeze great!
Preparé la receta y a toda mi familia le gustó mucho. Excelente receta, gracias por compartirla.
After freezing, what is the best way to rewarm them?
