Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment. Unroll the crescent dough onto the sheet and press seams together to form one uniform layer.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan and cook until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and gently scramble the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until just set.

Combine the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs in the bowl. Stir in shredded cheese if using.

Spoon even portions of the mixture along the wide end of each crescent triangle. Do not overfill.

Roll each triangle up from the wide end, tucking the ends under to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the tops with melted butter or a little milk if you like a glossy finish.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let rest briefly, slice if desired, and serve warm.
