Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 12 Sausage Links (Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked)
Breakfast Pastry Base:
- 1 can Refrigerated Canned Cinnamon Rolls (8 count) (Pillsbury Originals)
Binding and Enriching Ingredients:
- 3 Eggs, large
- 1 Tablespoon (15 milliliters) Heavy Cream or milk
Accompaniment:
- Syrup for Dipping
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F for optimal baking preparation.
- Whisk eggs and cream in a small bowl until thoroughly blended, then scramble over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unwrap cinnamon rolls and carefully reserve the icing. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each roll on a clean surface, extending its length and width. Slice each roll precisely in half.
- Distribute scrambled eggs evenly across the stretched cinnamon roll pieces, positioning a sausage link atop each egg portion.
- Carefully roll each piece around the sausage and eggs, ensuring a tight wrap with the seam tucked underneath. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until rolls turn golden brown and appear fully cooked.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool briefly. Drizzle reserved icing generously over each roll, creating an appetizing finish.
- Serve warm alongside maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Enhance rolling technique by gently pressing and stretching cinnamon roll dough to create a thin, even layer for better wrapping.
- Prevent sausage links from drying out by selecting high-quality, pre-cooked breakfast sausages with good moisture content.
- Experiment with alternative fillings like vegetarian sausage, turkey sausage, or plant-based protein for dietary preferences and restrictions.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
