# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Cheese and Topping
01 -
1 cup shredded cheese like Pepper Jack or Cheddar
02 -
Parmesan (that’s optional)
→ Egg Mix
03 -
4 eggs, whisked up (save a Tablespoon to brush on later)
04 -
1 teaspoon milk
05 -
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
06 -
1 Tablespoon butter
07 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
→ Sausage and Dough
09 -
8 breakfast sausages
10 -
1 can of refrigerated croissant dough
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Put these in the hot oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, just until the tops look golden and puffy.
02 -
Now brush each rolled-up croissant with that little bit of egg you put aside. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top if you’re into that.
03 -
Gently unroll the croissant dough. Lay the triangles out on a baking tray. Add a sausage, a scoop of scrambled eggs and a good helping of cheese to each one. Starting from the wide end, roll it all up nice and snug. Space them on your pan.
04 -
Heat butter in a nonstick skillet. Pour in the eggs, stir with a spatula until they’re mostly cooked. Sprinkle in chives, salt, and pepper. Take it off the heat.
05 -
Whisk the eggs up in a bowl with the milk. Take out a tablespoon and save it for brushing over the top later.
06 -
Brown the breakfast sausages in a pan on medium heat, turning them so they cook all around. This takes about 10 to 12 minutes. Let any extra oil drain on some paper towel.
07 -
Set your oven to 350°F and let it heat up.
# Extra Information:
01 -
These are best when you eat them warm but you can totally prep ahead. Just pop them in the oven for a few before serving.
