Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) breakfast sausage, removed from casings (Jimmy Dean style!)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives
  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz or 400g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, for brushing
  • Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, milk/cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour into the same skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and optional green onions. Mix well.
  4. Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If it's particularly thick, lightly roll it out to about a 12x12 inch square.
  5. Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares. Spoon an equal amount of the sausage mixture onto the center of each square.
  6. Fold one corner of each square over to the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.
  7. Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning, if desired.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let the roll-ups cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
