3 shakes of ground black pepper (or to taste)
½ tbsp. fresh chives, chopped (or 1 t dried chives)

Steps
1
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
2
COOK sausages over medium heat in a skillet until fully-cooked and nicely browned. Set aside to drain on a paper towel.
3
WHISK the eggs together, reserving 1 tablespoon of egg for brushing onto the crescents, before they go into the oven. Pour the cream or milk into the remaining whisked eggs, and whisk, again, until cream/milk is fully incorporated.
4
MELT the butter over medium heat in a small skillet, and scramble the remaining eggs. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chives. Remove from heat and set aside.
5
UNROLL AND SEPARATE your crescent roll-ups from each other. Cut your cheese slices in half, diagonally, to form triangles. Put 1 slice of Borden cheese onto the crescent triangle. Next, put about a teaspoon of scrambled eggs and then a chicken sausage link on top of that.
6
ROLL UP each crescent around the egg, cheese and sausage to form a nice, tight stuffed pastry roll. Brush each one with the egg wash that you saved from step 3 and sprinkle with your preferred topping(s). We suggest fresh herbs (like thyme), flaky sea salt or chili flakes.
7
PLACE the crescent rolls on a standard cookie sheet or jelly roll pan, spacing them out evenly so that they can rise to bake without touching each other.
8
BAKE for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
