6 large eggs, (scrambled)

2 cups (226 g) sharp cheddar cheese, (shredded)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven. Prepare baking dish.

Cook sausage.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking up the meat as you go, until done (8-10 minutes). Remove skillet from heat.

Roll out dough sheets.

Working on a clean work surface, lay out one sheet of crescent roll dough. Place the second sheet of dough on top of the first. Roll out the sheets to a 13x13-inch square, ensuring all seams are connected and smooth (unless using seamless dough sheets).

Top dough with sausage.

Using a slotted spoon, scoop the sausage out of the skillet and place on top of the dough, reserving the drippings in the skillet to be used for the gravy.

Top with eggs and cheese.

Roll into a log. Slice into 8 sections.

Starting on the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice into 8 equal-sized pieces.

Bake.
