I don’t know about you, but I am totally a breakfast person. It has always been my favorite meal of the day. I love how there are just so many options–sweet, savory, fruity, cheesy–I want it all! So naturally, I like to have fun in the kitchen when creating my breakfast. But I guess I’m not alone in that because this little treat for breakfast lovers (see what I did there?) was actually a team effort.
While still in bed this past Saturday, I brainstormed out loud, “hmm, what can we have for breakfast? We have those crescent rolls still. Oooh, we could roll up some eggs, soysage and cheese in them!” “We should cut them into hearts and fill them with that stuff,” Johnny cleverly suggested. It was the day after Valentine’s Day after all, and I guess we were still in the spirit. It wasn’t until after I had already preheated the oven and busted open the Pillsbury can that it dawned on me to document this cute breakfast meal. Johnny reluctantly agreed and grabbed his camera.
Here’s how we made these charming little filled heart breakfast puffs.
You’ll Need:
- 1 skillet
- 1 baking pan
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 can of crescent rolls
- 2 eggs
- 2 soysage (or sausage) breakfast patties
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
Of course, you can fill these bad boys with the items (veggies, maybe?) of your choice.
Directions:
Preheat the oven according to directions on crescent roll can. Warm a skillet and cook soysage thoroughly. Scramble the eggs until they are just barely ready. Set aside.
Open the can and unroll the crescents into one long sheet. Break them apart in rectangles, leaving the two triangles attached. Pinch the perforated area and pat down to securely attach the two triangles. Fold in half and roll out with a rolling pin.
Using a knife, cut the shape of a heart in the dough. Continue these steps will all the rectangles of dough. Once you have all the hearts ready, put your filling on half of the hearts and use the other half as a cover. Pinch the edges of the heart and secure closure with a fork. Poke a hole (or make a heart, or an x, whatever you want!) in the center of the puff for venting. Bake according to crescent roll can directions.
That’s it! We really enjoyed these puffs and even sprinkled a little bit of extra cheese on the top. Think next time I’ll try adding broccoli, garlic, and mozzarella. YUM!
What would you fill these breakfast hearts with?

These look fabulous! I would definitely go the eggs & sausage route. Filling them with blueberries & Meyer lemon would be good in the spring!

I am such a sucker for anything savory, but filling them with something sweet sounds really good too! Great idea! 🙂
February 21, 2014 @ 12:04 pm
SUCH a good idea! I’ve never bought crescent roll dough but there’s so many things you can do with it that I might have to start!
February 21, 2014 @ 12:39 pm
There is SO much you can do with it! It’s so good too 🙂
February 21, 2014 @ 12:04 pm
I’m a fan of breakfast as well. I think you could alsoo fill them with something sweet, maybe strawberries and cheese, yum!
February 21, 2014 @ 12:39 pm
Yum!! That sounds so good – I’ll have to try it!
February 21, 2014 @ 12:05 pm
This looks so delicious and seems very easy!!! You’ve inspired me to make my own version this weekend!
February 21, 2014 @ 12:40 pm
Yay!! I think I’m going to try a sweet version as well! 🙂
February 21, 2014 @ 12:53 pm
That is such a cute idea! I’m totally a breakfast person, I could eat it for every meal, but I’m not quite as creative as this! Totally craving a good brunch right now!

This looks so tasty! Breakfast foods are some of my favorite, but I never actually have time to eat breakfast! I have a huge list of recipes I want to try out during spring break, and I think I’ll be adding this one to it. xx, Elizabeth

These look and sound so yummy! I have to stay away since it’s not really part of the wedding diet, but I’ll have to make these for Kory when we have access to an oven again!
February 21, 2014 @ 11:39 pm
You’ll have to let me know how yall like them! 🙂
February 21, 2014 @ 10:58 pm
These are adorable and look super tasty. I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before!
I’d probably want to throw in nutella and peaches. I know it sounds weird, but I promise the combo works.

Ooooh that does sound good! What a great idea! I’m thinking I’ll definitely need to do a sweet version!
February 21, 2014 @ 11:53 pm
I totally love breakfast too! Especially BFD! Remember those days? Anyway this is a cool idea. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the inspiration!
February 22, 2014 @ 12:52 am
Haha, of course I remember! 🙂
February 22, 2014 @ 12:30 pm
I’d fill it with bacon.
February 22, 2014 @ 11:33 pm
You enjoy that!
February 22, 2014 @ 4:25 pm
These look so delicious, I think I have to try them out this weekend 😀 Maybe then I’d actually eat properly in the morning. I’m also tempted to put some mushrooms in these.
February 22, 2014 @ 7:38 pm
That would be good! Definitely fill them with whatever you want – that’ the best thing about these, in my opinion!
February 22, 2014 @ 11:00 pm
I am a big breakfast person and prefer savoury over sweet options. Your recipe is super cute and sounds delicious. Can’t wait to give it a try, thanks!
February 22, 2014 @ 11:32 pm
Yay!! SO glad you like it! Let me know if you do try it! 🙂

It is! Let me know if you try it 🙂
February 23, 2014 @ 4:18 pm
These look delicious! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
February 23, 2014 @ 7:45 pm
Thank you! Enjoy 🙂
February 24, 2014 @ 11:01 am
These look so delicious! And they’d be great to make ahead and grab on mornings that I don’t have much time for breakfast!
February 24, 2014 @ 1:50 pm
Exactly! And you can even make a few different versions in one batch!
February 27, 2014 @ 5:55 am
I love croissant. What a cute idea!
February 27, 2014 @ 8:22 am
Thank you!!
March 2, 2014 @ 3:26 pm
Well this is just delightful! Pinning for later! I think blueberry sauce would be nice in these too, just the sauce and nothing extra besides some dusted confectioner’s sugar on top.
March 2, 2014 @ 6:33 pm
Oh, yum! That’s a great idea!! I’ll have to try it!
March 7, 2014 @ 1:32 am
These looks so yummy! And it’s also easy for alternative fillings. Thanks for sharing 🙂
March 7, 2014 @ 9:21 am
Exactly! I didn’t even realize that when I made them, but it’s so true!
March 16, 2014 @ 7:46 pm
I love enthusiastic you are about breakfast! I too love breakfast but I’m usually way to lazy to think up something creative and fun to try! These look wonderful and tasty!
March 17, 2014 @ 8:48 am
Haha, thank you! I usually get creative on the weekends 🙂
March 22, 2014 @ 11:43 pm
This is such a great idea, and it came out perfect!! I would fill my hearts with apple pie filling, I’d have heart shaped apple turnovers. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
March 23, 2014 @ 9:01 am
YUM! That sounds so good! I might have to steal that idea 😉
October 10, 2014 @ 9:51 am
