Essential Ingredients

  • Eggs: Fresh eggs add protein and richness; scramble them lightly before adding to your rolls.
  • Cheese: Cheddar or mozzarella works great; use shredded cheese for easier melting.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Unroll your Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough onto a clean surface.

Prepare Your Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set but still slightly runny. Remove from heat and let cool. Add cooked sausage or ham along with shredded cheese and spinach if using.

Assemble Your Rolls: Take each triangle of crescent dough and place about 1 tablespoon of filling at the wide end. Roll it up tightly towards the point, tucking in any filling that tries to escape.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your assembled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and flaky.

Serve Warm & Enjoy!: Once done baking, let them cool slightly before digging in. The cheesy goodness combined with flavorful fillings will have everyone asking for seconds!

Each bite will make you feel like an accomplished chef while only spending minimal effort in the kitchen!
