Introduction

These delicious breakfast rolls are the perfect way to start your day with savory flavors wrapped in flaky crescent dough. Packed with eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese, they make a satisfying and easy breakfast or brunch dish.

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

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper.
Step 3: Cook the egg mixture in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until scrambled and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4: Open the cans of crescent dough and unroll the sheets. Pinch the two long edges together to form one large rectangle.
Step 5: Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the dough rectangle.
Step 6: Layer the scrambled eggs over the cream cheese, followed by the cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7: Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one long side.
Step 8: Using a serrated knife, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
Step 9: Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking pan.
Step 10: Bake for 24–26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 11: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little smoked paprika or cayenne pepper into the egg mixture.
Try swapping the cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheese twist.
Use turkey sausage or omit bacon for a lighter option.
Make ahead by assembling the rolls and refrigerating them before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking cold.

Storage

Store any leftover breakfast rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350℉ for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

How to Serve
