Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
I melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set.
I unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
On each triangle, I place a spoonful of scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
I roll them up starting from the wide end and place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
I bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly and enjoy warm.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 6–8 roll-ups, depending on how they’re portioned. Prep takes about 10 minutes, and baking takes 15–20 minutes. Each roll-up has around 250–280 calories, making them a light but satisfying breakfast.

Variations

These roll-ups are easy to adapt:

Cheese Options: I like using mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for different flavors.
Add Veggies: Diced bell peppers, onions, or baby spinach work great.
Spicy Version: I sometimes mix a little hot sauce or crushed red pepper into the eggs.
Herb Twist: Chopped chives, parsley, or dill can brighten things up.
Meat-Free Protein: For extra texture, I add cooked lentils or tofu crumbles.

Storage/Reheating

These are perfect for make-ahead breakfasts:

Refrigeration: I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: I wrap each roll-up individually and freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
Reheating: I reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or microwave for 30–45 seconds.

FAQs

Can I make Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups ahead of time?

Yes, I usually prep a batch the night before and just reheat them in the morning. They’re just as delicious the next day.

What kind of cheese works best in these roll-ups?

Cheddar is my go-to, but I’ve also used mozzarella, provolone, and pepper jack depending on what I have on hand.

How do I keep the roll-ups from getting soggy?

I make sure the scrambled eggs aren’t too wet when filling and always bake them until fully golden and set.

Can I use something other than crescent dough?

Absolutely. I’ve used puff pastry, biscuit dough, and even tortillas. Each option gives a slightly different texture.

Are these roll-ups good for freezing?

Yes, they freeze really well. I just wrap them individually and keep them in a freezer-safe bag for quick breakfasts anytime.
