  Sausage/Egg Rolls 

  1 loaf frozen bread dough (Let thaw and rise) 
  1 lb. of your favorite sausage, browned & drained 
  2 eggs, beaten 
  1 cup grated cheddar cheese 
  1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese 
  2 tablespoons chopped parsley 
  Dash of oregano 
  Salt & Pepper to taste 

  THE NIGHT BEFORE: 

  Cook sausage, drain well and put in refrigerator. 

  Just before retiring, place frozen bread dough on a large cookie sheet  
  that has been sprayed with "PAM".  

  Spray a piece of saran wrap with "PAM" and lay it over the bread dough.

  Cover dough with a clean dish towel and put in a warm place to rise. 

  EARLY THE NEXT MORNING: 
  Warm sausage in microwave a minute or so. 

  Add beaten eggs, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, parsley, oregano,
  salt and pepper and blend well. 

  Spread dough out into a rectangular shape until it almost covers the 
  cookie sheet. Do not spread too thin or you will have holes in the dough.

  Spoon sausage mixture into the middle of the dough and spread to within 
  one inch of the edges. (Do not let mixture touch edges of dough, or it  
  won't seal). 

  starting at the narrow end, roll up "jelly-roll" style. Pinch the edges
  of the dugh together and tuck the ends under. 

  Place seam side down and bake at 350 degrees about 25 minutes or until 
  dough is completely cooked. 

  If desired, you can "glaze" the top with butter as soon as it is removed
  from the oven. Cool about 10 to 15 minutes and cut into slices. 

  This freezes well. If any is left over (which is rare), I slice the 
  remaining loaf and put the slices into freezer bags. 

  My girls can then grab a slice or two, throw it in the microwave for 
  just a minute or so and grab a quick breakfast or snack when they are 
  on the run.
