How To Make Sausage Wraps
Making these breakfast sausage wraps with eggs and cheese is super easy. Let me walk you through the simple process
Scramble Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until even in color (should be a pale yellow). Reserve 2 tablespoons of the eggs and set aside for later.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Stir in the whisked eggs and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are no longer runny. Remove from heat.
Cook Sausage Links
The sausage links should be cooked prior to baking, because the roll ups are not baked long enough to cook them.
You could either purchase the pre-cooked sausage links or use raw links and cook them ahead of time. Using the air fryer is a no-fuss method that works perfectly!
Assemble Breakfast Roll Ups
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate them into triangles.
Top each triangle with half a slice of cheddar cheese, a spoonful of scrambled eggs and 1 sausage link.
Loosely roll up the triangles into a crescent roll shape and place on an baking sheet.
Brush Tops with Egg
Using the reserved whisked eggs, brush the tops of the unbaked roll ups and season with salt and pepper.
The egg wash will give the roll ups a nice golden brown color when baked.
Bake Till Golden
Pop the tray of sausage, egg and cheese breakfast roll ups in a 350 degree oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Make Ahead and Storage
These breakfast roll ups are a great make ahead breakfast. Simply bake, cool and then wrap individually and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze these individually for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the microwave from frozen, crisp up in a toaster oven or air fryer if desired.
I can’t wait for you to give these easy Sausage Breakfast Roll Ups a try!

Do you precook the sausage?
Hi Shawn, Love your site! This may be a silly little question, but I was just wondering: When I’m reading one of your recipes, or perusing the comments below, there is a video playing along side demonstrating another recipe. If I don’t happen to see the very first screen of that video (where the name of recipe is stated) I don’t know what’s being made. But as I continue to look at two things at once (!) by the time the video is done I often think Wow, that looks good, what’s it called so I can look it up? SO, would it be at all possible to again show the name of the recipe at the end along with the finished product? Thank you!!
Hi Chris! Thanks for your comment. When you hover your mouse over the video player you should see a set of boxes in the lower right hand side. If you click on that it’ll pop up with videos coming up and if you toggle the back button, you’ll see videos that have played already. It’ll have the title of the video underneath each recipe video. I am working with my developer to make it so these videos are also clickable and will take you directly to the recipe… but for now I hope this helps!
This was so easy and so good!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed them!
Thank you for sharing this tasty and simple recipe! I have made it 4 times in the last month. I used Kraft American cheese and it’s AMAZING dipped in maple syrup!!
Sweet! So glad you guys are enjoying the roll-ups! Thank you for your comment. 🙂
Cook sasauge first ?
Yes! The sausage wouldn’t have time to cook from raw by the time the crescents are cooked.
Can these be made the night before and then baked in the morning?
As long as you keep them refrigerated, I think that would be fine!
SUSPENSION, EGGS AND CHEESE are always my favorite foods at breakfast.
Great. A constant creativity. Thank you for this.
I am just an average cook, but I do not understand why so many are confusing beating/whisking eggs with scrambling? Scrambling is cooking! If you don’t know cooking terms, then I suggest you look them up before proceeding.
Hi laida maybe read the directions again
I think they will be fun to make and eat
How well do they freeze and reheat? This would be a great breakfast for the kiddos that I can premake.
Hi Brittany,
I’m assuming that the scrambled eggs are cooked,you never mentioned cooking the eggs,and I’m trying to figure how to keep the eggs from running all over the cookie sheet
Yup, they are scrambled before baking. It’s in the first step of the instructions. 🙂
but it doesn’t say to “cook” the scrambled eggs. Scrambling just means to beat them up (HA!). I was confused as well and I consider myself to be a pro in the kitchen.
Glad I wasn’t the only one 🙂
I was reading the comments to see if I needed to cook any of this first. Lol I was like “uh, okay I’ve scrambled the eggs but how are they going to stay on the dough?” Thanks for clarification.
Do you not read directions? It clearly says to use cooked sausage and to scramble remaining eggs…..that is a cooking method. Do you not cook? Does every recipe you use have every tiny step spelled out for you? Jeez….
Are the sausages cooked first?
Directions were easy to follow. “Scramble” is the way the eggs are cooked. Just like fry, boil, poach, etc.
I also missed scramble the eggs. Thanks for clearing that up. Sounds delicious
Recommended way to reheat these tasty treats?
Are they good reheated? I’m always a little skeptical of reheated eggs :/
Yes. I refrigerate leftover rolls and reheat next day. Still delicious.
The Pillsbury site was unclear… should I cook the frozen breakfast sausage first, or since they’re fully cooked already, just roll them up frozen?
Hi Brittany,
I’m not Shawn, but it looks like the recipe calls for fully cooked breakfast sausage links. I think you can buy them fully cooked, or cook and freeze yourself. I’d nuke the pre-cooked frozen ones just to get them warm before cooking. Don’t these look great?!
YUMM!!! Could these be made ahead of time and frozen?
These will be great for Father’s Day.
Suas receitas são maravilhosas,parabéns muito boa,qualidade,aparencia tudo de bom,fico feliz em poder fazer sa receitas,ainda bém que existe tradução,se não ficaria com agua na boca com tantas delicias,amo cozinnha e fico feliz de ter uma exelente chef.Um abraço.
Great idea! My kids would love this! And less dishes for me…that is always appealing!
What a fun idea, I prepare hotdogs quite often but never tried adding eggs before 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I keep trying to muster up more than yum but that is all I got. This is so gorgeous!
Thanks Jocelyn! It’s definitely a crowd pleaser over here! 🙂
What cute little breakfast sandwiches. Definitely something the whole family can enjoy and even personalize.
Thanks Erin! Yeah, it’s also great with bacon, ham or even a combination of the two! 🙂
Such a fun and easy recipe! Love these.
Thanks Rachel! 🙂
Can these be frozen?
Shawn, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’m drooling right now. I love little breakfast diddies like this, and I know I’d go eeeeeeenssssaaaane eating them all at once, haha. Pinning!!
Ha! Thanks Hayley! I definitely had my fair share of these tasty little guys! 😉
