How to Prepare This Recipe
Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparation
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures your rolls will be warm and slightly crispy on the outside once baked.
-
Prepare the eggs by cracking them into a medium bowl. Add the milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
-
Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides. Once cooked, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Scramble the eggs: In a separate nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently and continuously to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs. Cook for 3–4 minutes until just set, but still moist.
-
Prepare the rolls by slicing them in half horizontally. If you like, lightly toast them in the oven for 3–5 minutes to give a slightly crispy texture.
-
Assemble the rolls: Place a generous portion of scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each roll. Top with sliced turkey sausage and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the eggs and sausage.
-
Bake the rolls: Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 5–7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
-
Optional toppings: Add chopped green onions, spinach, or your favorite herbs to enhance flavor and presentation.
-
Serve warm: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can also be wrapped and stored for a quick breakfast later.
