Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

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

Dough and Cheese

  • 2 (8-ounce) cans crescent dough sheets
  • 1/3 cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Meats

  • 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage, cooked
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (177℃) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix eggs and vegetables: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Cook the egg mixture on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently until fully scrambled. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the dough: Open the two cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them onto a clean surface. Pinch the long edges of the sheets together to form one large rectangular sheet of dough.
  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 cooled scrambled eggs, cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Roll up dough: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  8. Slice rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices.
  9. Arrange in pan: Place each slice cut-side up into the greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spacing them slightly apart.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
  11. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a vegetarian alternative for a different twist.
  • Make sure the scrambled eggs are cooled before assembling the rolls to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  • These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they go in chilled.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top before baking.
  • Leftover rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
