Easy Crescent Roll Egg Cups
Description
These Easy Crescent Roll Egg Cups use crescent roll dough pressed into muffin cups as a base crust, which bakes to a light, flaky shell. Filled with cooked sausage or bacon along with diced onion and optional bell pepper, the cups provide savory flavor and textural variety. A mixture of eggs and milk is poured over the fillings before topping with cheese, then baked until the egg is set and edges of the dough turn golden.
The result is a portion-controlled breakfast item with soft, custard-like eggs encased in a delicate, buttery dough. This approach prevents mess and offers variety by mixing different vegetables, meats, or cheeses as fillers. The baking method ensures a balanced texture where the crust remains crisp and turns golden while the cheesy filling is fully cooked without dryness.
These egg cups are best served warm shortly after baking to enjoy the contrast between flaky pastry and creamy eggs, but they can also be eaten at room temperature. Garnished with thinly sliced green onions if desired, they make a convenient breakfast or brunch option suited for casual gatherings or meal prepping. Reheating gently is recommended to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent rolls grands or regular
- 6 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ pound breakfast sausage or bacon, chopped, cooked, maple flavor
- 1 cup cheese any type, shredded
- ¼ cup onion diced, about ½ an onion
- ¼ cup bell pepper optional, any color, diced
- ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper to taste
- cooking spray
- green onion for serving, if desired, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with 12 holes with cooking spray. Set aside.
- On your work surface roll out your grand or regular crescent dough. Make sure all of the seams are all gone. There should just be one large piece of dough.
- Slice into 12 squares. Either 6 x 2 for grands and 4 x 3 for regular.
- Place each square into each muffin hole.
- Next, place some cooked sausage or bacon on top of each square inside each muffin cup.
- Add a pinch of onions and peppers (if using).
- Add some cheese on top.
- In a medium sized bowl combine eggs and milk with a whisk.
- Pour egg mixture into each muffin cup until it is ⅔ full. Sprinkle more cheese on top.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Serve warm!
- Enjoy!
- Every bite!
Notes
- Ensure all crescent roll seams are well pressed together to form a single dough sheet for even baking.
- Feel free to customize fillings with different cooked meats, vegetables, or cheese types to suit preferences.
- Serve these egg cups warm for the best texture and flavor; they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
