Ingredients

  • 1 tube of crescent rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup salsa
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Scramble eggs in a skillet over low heat with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

  • Spread eggs evenly, sprinkle cheese, and spoon salsa on top.
  • Roll up from the short end and pinch to seal.
  • Slice into 8 rounds and place cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
Freeze: Cool completely, then place pinwheels on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Microwave for 30–60 seconds or bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Variations:
  • Add cooked sausage, bacon, or ham for protein.
  • Use mozzarella, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack instead of cheddar.
  • Cool eggs before layering to prevent soggy dough.
  • Store up to 4 days in fridge or 3 months in freezer.
