Breakfast with Crescent Rolls

If you have a roll of crescent rolls, you probably have everything you need to make this easy recipe. Just a few staple ingredients will have you on your way to a delicious breakfast.

Let’s make delicious and flakey ham, egg and cheese breakfast crescent rolls.

Breakfast Crescent Rolls Ingredients

Hard-Boiled Eggs

One thing I like to do is make hard boiled eggs (check these out!) ahead of time, or get pre-packaged eggs at the store.

If you make your eggs ahead of time, you can keep them in the refrigerator in an airtight container with a paper towel for a few days.

Because the paper towel will sop up the excess moisture, you might need to change it each day. But the eggs will stay good for several days.

Breakfast Sandwich Cheese

Cheese really is a personal preference, don’t you think? We like using sharp Vermont cheddar cheese. It has a nice bite to it and since we live on the Vermont border, it’s always fresh.

Maybe you like stinky cheese, Swiss cheese, American cheese – you can use whatever cheese you would normally have on a breakfast sandwich.

If you’re the kind of person who likes breakfast sandwiches from fast food places, you’ll likely prefer yellow American cheese in your breakfast crescent rolls.

Breakfast Sandwich Meat

I know one of my all-time favorites is a nice egg and cheese sandwich. For me, it really doesn’t matter what the meat is. Whether it be sausage, bacon, or ham, it’s all good!

For this recipe, we’ll be using thinly sliced ham, otherwise known as prosciutto.

Wrapping Egg And Cheese With Prosciutto

How To Roll Them Up

Since you stretched the crescent rolls a little bit, they should wrap around the egg quite well. Wrap the crescent roll around the ham, egg, and cheese before placing them into the oven.

I baked them with so the small end of the triangle is over top of the rolls when placing them onto the baking sheet. (I used these parchment paper sheets.)

How to Cook Crescent Rolls

Because we’re following the crescent roll package instructions, use those to determine the temperature and bake time for your breakfast crescent rolls.

Bake them until they’re a nice golden brown color.

Notes

These breakfast crescent rolls made into ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches are really easy to make.
Customize the recipe to fit your taste by using different cheese, different spices, or even a different thinly sliced meat.
Your crescent roll package may not call for greasing the baking sheet. Follow the packaging, but I always use parchment paper. Parchment paper helps bake things more evenly.
