Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño diced, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces vegan breakfast sausage cut in bite-sized pieces, I used Beyond Meat
- 16 ounces Just egg
- 1 cup non-dairy milk I used oat milk
- 8 ounces vegan cream cheese separated, I used Kite Hill
- 2 cans crescent dough I used Trader Joe's
- chives optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño & dry seasonings. Cook down for 2 minutes. Add the vegan sausage and cook for 5 more minutes, or until slightly browned and cooked through. Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Add the eggs, milk and 4 ounces of cream cheese to a bowl and whisk until combined. Pour everything from the skillet into the egg mixture and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent rolls into the pre-cut triangles. Using the rest of the cream cheese, spread a small amount on each triangle and roll them up.
- Place the finished crescent rolls in the prepared baking dish in 2 rows of 8. Pour the egg & sausage mixture over the crescent rolls (see notes). Place in the oven (on the center rack) for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through - add foil if the crescent rolls start to brown too quickly. I added foil at about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, allow to set for 5 minutes. Top with chives, cut into 8 pieces and serve.

Notes
- If sensitive to heat, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño or omit it.
- Most crescent roll dough is vegan-friendly, but always check the label to be sure.
- I used Beyond Meat breakfast sausage. If frozen, allow it to thaw slightly so you can cut it into-bite-sized pieces before adding it to the skillet.
- When you pour the egg mixture over the rolls, they should naturally float to the top. If they don't, just give them a gently wiggle so they come to the top - this will help you get that crispy top. Also be sure to spread the sausage out to make sure each piece will get some.
- You can prep this ahead of time - just follow the steps up until baking. Place in the fridge until ready to bake.
