    Crescent Roll Breakfast Cups

    I made these the other day and just had to post. Crescent roll egg recipes are so yummy and this breakfast using crescent rolls is perfect for those mornings when you want something delicious!

    Honestly, crescent roll breakfast recipes are great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner. I can't be the only one who LOVES having breakfast for dinner, can I?

    The beauty of this croissant egg cups recipe is really how versatile it is.

    There is also a lot of fun to be had making these amazing crescent breakfast muffins. My son and I used to have a blast creating an entire pan of different breakfast crescent rolls.

    Crescent Roll Egg Cups

    The first thing you have to do is decide on your favorite meat!

    Cooked and chopped bacon, sausage or ham?

    Whatever you like the best or whatever you have on hand will work great.

    All cooked vegetables work as well in crescent roll breakfast recipes. Again, use whatever vegetables you want or need to. They all work beautifully together!

    I have made these easy crescent roll breakfast muffins with only eggs and cheese and they still turned out beautifully. When I say you can use anything, I mean it. Anything you would consider putting in your eggs will work in these fabulous croissant egg cups. You are only limited by your imagination!

    Breakfast Using Crescent Rolls

    Three crescent roll breakfast egg cups served on a plate.

    Ingredients in Crescent Roll Breakfast Recipes

    • Crescent roll dough (grands or regular)
    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Sausage or bacon or both!
    • Shredded cheese such as Swiss, Monterey jack or cheddar cheese.
    • Onions
    • Peppers
    • Salt and pepper
    • Green onions
    • Cooking spray

    How to Make Crescent Egg Cups

    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, peppers (if using) and cheese on top of your sausage or bacon.

    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 and bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

    Serve warm and enjoy!

    Expert Tips


    To make individual mini crescent roll breakfast casserole bites you can prepare different combinations of ingredients making them perfect for larger groups of people with varied tastes!

    When you roll out the dough on your work surface make sure to pinch all the seams together well so that it looks like one piece of dough.

    Serve these crescent breakfast rolls warm or room temperature, but really these are best served warm!

    I love crescent roll breakfast recipes like this one, especially when my son was young. He loved cooking with me. I would prepare all of the ingredients he had to choose from and he would be able to make his own and then watch it bake in the oven!

      In a rush to throw something together I had an idea of what I wanted to do with what I had on hand, I came across this recipe. I did alter it a bit by leaving out the peppers & onion only to save time chopping. I must say it was a hit with everyone & will do these again. It's easy, quick and simple! Change up the add ins to your taste or what you have on hand.

      I made these and froze several of the extra after baking. How do you recommend reheating? I have an air fryer so was considering using that. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!

        I love these things and they’re great to keep inside your freezer. To reheat after freezing, thaw overnight in your fridge and microwave until they are warmed all the way through. Usually a minute or so. That is the way we reheated for years and still do on occasion. Lately, we take them right out of the freezer and air fry at 325 degrees F for two or three minutes. Depending on their size. You’ll know the exact timing in your air fryer after you preheat and make the first one. My son removes them from the freezer when he wakes up and leaves them on the counter. After showering and getting ready he puts them inside the air fryer for one minute on 325 degrees. That is warm enough for him. I hope this helps. Please let me know what works for you. I’d love to hear. All the best. Karin

        I make these at least once a month. Cooking for one, so I freeze them (2 per ziplock bag) and eat them a couple of times a week. Defrost in the frig the night before and then into my toaster oven to warm up. Yum!

        First I have to apologize for the delay in my response. We had a health scare with my husband, luckily he is ok, but I kind of forgot I had a website. Again I am truly sorry. That being said. Unfortunately you need to bake them as soon as they are made. You can easily prepare the ingredients the day before but I don’t recommend leaving them in your fridge ready to go in the oven overnight. I wish things were different. Regardless I hope you give these a try. We love them around here! All the best to you. Karin
