Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Dough and Filling

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Cook Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a heated skillet on the stovetop. Cook, stirring gently until scrambled and fully set. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Dough Base: Open the two cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them. Pinch the long edges of the two dough sheets together to create one large rectangular sheet.
  5. Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the entire surface of the dough rectangle.
  6. Add Fillings: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the cream cheese, followed by the cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Roll Dough: Starting from one of the long sides, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, enclosing all the fillings inside.
  8. Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices to form individual breakfast rolls.
  9. Arrange for Baking: Place the 12 slices cut-side up into the prepared 9×13-inch baking pan.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute different cheeses such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a variation in flavor.
  • Use turkey sausage or omit meat for a vegetarian version.
  • Let the scrambled eggs cool slightly before spreading to prevent dough from becoming soggy.
  • Ensure the rolls are placed close together in the baking pan to help them keep shape while baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
