Equipment

• One 9×13-inch pan

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 (8-ounce) cans crescent dough sheets
• 1/3 cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese
• 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage, cooked
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

How to Make Breakfast Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper.

Cook the egg mixture on the stovetop, scrambling until fully cooked. Set aside and allow the eggs to cool slightly.

Open the two cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them. Place the sheets side by side and pinch the two long edges together to form one large rectangle.

Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the dough.

Layer the scrambled eggs on top, followed by the cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other.

Using a serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices.

Place the rolls into the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 24–26 minutes, until the tops turn golden brown.

Serve warm.

Helpful Tips

• Let the eggs and meat cool slightly before adding them to the dough. This prevents the dough from becoming too soft and difficult to roll.
• A serrated knife helps slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the layers.
• If crescent dough sheets are unavailable, use pizza dough or a 1-pound loaf of bread dough (thawed and risen), rolled into a rectangle.

Easy Shortcuts

To save time, use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties and dice them instead of cooking sausage from scratch. Pre-cooked bacon works well too.

You can also switch up the cream cheese. Garlic and herb, plain, or even low-fat whipped cream cheese all work nicely.

Serving Ideas

Breakfast Rolls are best served warm straight from the oven. They pair well with fresh fruit, a simple green salad, or a side of roasted potatoes.

They also travel well, making them great for brunch gatherings or potlucks.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Reheat individual slices until warmed through.

They can also be frozen and reheated when needed, making them convenient for busy mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Breakfast Rolls ahead of time?

Yes. You can assemble the rolls, cover the pan tightly, and refrigerate before baking. When ready to serve, bake as directed until golden and heated through.

Can I change the filling?

Absolutely. Swap the sausage for diced ham, use only bacon, or add extra vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. Just make sure any added ingredients are cooked and cooled before layering.

What if I can’t find crescent dough sheets?

You can use a tube of pizza dough or a 1-pound loaf of bread dough. If using bread dough, allow it to thaw and rise before rolling it into a rectangle.

How do I keep the rolls from getting soggy?

Let the scrambled eggs and cooked meats cool slightly before adding them to the dough. This helps prevent excess moisture from softening the dough while you roll it.

Can I freeze Breakfast Rolls?

Yes. Bake them first, allow them to cool completely, then freeze. Reheat until warmed through when ready to serve.
