Choosing the Best Ingredients
Puff pastry: Choose all-butter pastry for maximum flake and flavor. Frozen brands like Pepperidge Farm or Jus-Rol are perfect.
Sausage: Classic pork breakfast sausage gives the richest flavor, but you can go lean with chicken or turkey sausage.
Cheese: Sharp cheddar melts beautifully, but pepper jack or gouda add a bold kick.
Eggs: Scramble them gently with a splash of milk for soft, creamy curds — they’ll stay fluffy inside the roll.
Pro Tips & Swaps
- Low-carb? Use low-carb tortillas or crescent dough.
- Dairy-light? Try dairy-free cheddar or skip cheese.
- Vegetarian? Replace sausage with sautéed mushrooms or tofu crumbles.

How to Make Sausage Egg Breakfast Rolls
- Preheat the air fryer: Set to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3–5 minutes.
- Cook the sausage: Brown sausage links in a skillet until golden. Set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook gently until just set — soft and creamy.
- Assemble: Cut puff pastry sheets into 4 rectangles. Add a spoonful of eggs, sausage, and cheese to each, then roll tightly.
- Brush with egg wash: For that gorgeous golden finish.
- Air fry: Cook rolls for 8–10 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool 2–3 minutes before serving.
Oven Method
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes until deeply golden and flaky.
Pro Tips for Texture
- Don’t overcrowd your air fryer basket — space means crisp!
- Chill pastry 5 minutes before air frying to boost flake.
- Rest rolls 2 minutes before biting — it helps set the filling.
Variations
- Extra Cheesy: Add a dollop of cream cheese before rolling.
- Spicy: Mix in diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
- Veggie-Loaded: Add spinach, onions, or bell peppers.
- Kid-Friendly: Use mild sausage and melty American cheese.
