Golden, flaky pastry wrapped around fluffy scrambled eggs and savory sausage—these rolls are quick, delicious, and portable. They’re like a breakfast sandwich wrapped in a buttery crust, but with an easy grab-and-go twist.

Servings & Timing

  • Servings: 8 rolls
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
  • Total Time: ~40 minutes
  • WW Points (estimate): 6–7 (classic puff pastry) | 4–5 with protein-friendly swaps

Ingredients List

Classic Version

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed, 2 sheets)
  • 8 breakfast sausage links (pork or turkey)
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or reduced-fat)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for eggs)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

  • Use turkey sausage or chicken sausage (leaner protein)

  • Use reduced-fat cheese or cottage cheese inside

Instructions

  1. Cook Sausage – In a skillet, cook sausage links until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
  2. Scramble Eggs – In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk. Melt butter in skillet, cook eggs on low heat until softly scrambled. Stir in cheese. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare Pastry – Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut into 8 rectangles.
  4. Assemble Rolls – Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs and one sausage link on each rectangle. Roll up, sealing edges.
  5. Egg Wash – Brush tops with beaten egg for golden shine.
  6. Bake – Place rolls on parchment-lined sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and golden.
  7. Serve – Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Additional Notes

  • Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or Greek yogurt dip.
