Steps:
- Place thawed kolache dough in proofer.
- Allow dough to rise 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the sausage filling by mixing sausage, scrambled eggs, and pepper jack cheese in a large mixing bowl.
- Remove the risen dough from proofer. Using the bottom of a ¼ cup dry measuring cup, press a deep indentation in the center of each dough.

- Spray tops of kolaches with butter pan spray and bake at 325°F for 20-25 minutes.

If the cup is sticking lightly spray the bottom of the cup with cooking spray.
The center kolaches will take longer to bake. Test these for doneness before removing from the oven.
