Description

Delicious and hearty breakfast rolls filled with scrambled eggs, savory sausage, bacon, and melted cheddar cheese, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a crowd or meal prep!


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 and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix egg ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until combined.
  3. Cook the eggs: Scramble the egg mixture on the stovetop over medium heat until fully cooked, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare dough: Open the two cans of crescent dough and unroll the sheets. Pinch the long edges of the sheets together to form one large rectangular dough sheet.
  5. Spread cream cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the surface of the dough rectangle.
  6. Add fillings: Layer the cooled scrambled eggs, cooked ground sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Roll the dough: Carefully roll up the dough tightly starting from one long edge to the other, creating a log.
  8. Slice rolls: Using a serrated knife, cut the rolled dough log into 12 equal slices for individual rolls.
  9. Bake: Place the rolls cut side up in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve: Remove from oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If crescent dough sheets are unavailable, substitute with a tube of pizza dough or 1 pound loaf of bread dough; thaw and roll out into a rectangle.
  • Use pre-cooked diced breakfast sausage patties and pre-cooked bacon to save time during preparation.
  • You can swap whipped chive and onion cream cheese with garlic and herb, plain, or low-fat whipped cream cheese for flavor variation.
  • Allow the eggs and meat filling to cool slightly before spreading on dough to prevent dough from becoming soggy and difficult to roll.
