Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the rolls.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links until they are browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Once done, remove and let cool before slicing.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add a splash of milk for creaminess if desired.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
In the same skillet used for the sausage, scramble the egg mixture over medium heat until set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 5: Assemble the Rolls
On a clean surface, lay out your dough or rolls. Place a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of sausage, and a slice of cheese onto each roll.
Step 6: Roll and Seal
Carefully roll each dough piece to encase the filling. Pinch the ends to seal to prevent filling from leaking.
Step 7: Bake the Rolls
Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy warm, or let them cool completely before storing.

Cook techniques
Preparing the Sausage
Start by cooking the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Make sure to break it up into smaller pieces while cooking for even distribution in the rolls.
Scrambling the Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs into a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently until the eggs are softly scrambled.
Melt the Cheese
Once the eggs are just about done, add shredded cheese to the skillet. Allow it to melt into the scrambled eggs for added creaminess and flavor.
Rolling Method
Take a portion of the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs with cheese, and place them in the center of a breakfast roll. Gently fold the sides of the roll over the filling and tuck the ends in to secure.
Baking the Rolls
Lay the filled breakfast rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breakfast rolls warm, optionally with a side of salsa or hot sauce for dipping to enhance the flavors.
