Roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a rim of a glass.
Add 1-2 tbsp of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of cheese, and a bit of sausage in the center of the dough circle.
Bring the edges of the dough together to form a half-circle, then pinch the ends closed. Place on a baking sheet.
Repeat steps 3-4 until you've used up all of the scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot.
Notes
Feel free to switch up the ingredients to suit your family's preferences. You can substitute bacon or ham for the sausage, add chopped veggies, etc...
If you’re trying to cut calories, you can use egg whites in place of one or more whole eggs and use less cheese.
