Holiday Breakfast

On Saturday, as we celebrated the anniversary of the birth of our great nation, I made a breakfast favorite from over a half-decade ago when Bryan and I were first dating. I don't know why I stopped making it - except that it is probably extraordinarily bad for you. But it is good. Very good.

1) Crumble and fry pork sausage
2) Heat the country gravy of your choice
3) Scramble a few eggs

Drain the sausage and then return to the skillet, adding the eggs and some shredded cheddar cheese, and cook on low heat until the cheese has melted.



Next, prepare the rolls. I buy the refrigerated tube of the Pillsbury jumbo crescent rolls and pull them apart as if I were going to roll them the normal way, then take a rolling pin to each piece, making it larger in each direction.

As each piece is ready, add a couple spoonfuls of the sausage-egg-cheese mixture to the center of the crescent and roll it up, folding the corners in and wrapping them around the filling to create a pocket.

Bake at the recommended temperature for about 6 minutes.

Top with gravy.

I served them with breakfast potatoes which came frozen in a bag. Lazy. Ha.

Here was the final result:


They were really very good. I might try something similar as a dinner option - like little pizza pockets?
