Description

These savory breakfast rolls are packed with all your morning favorites—scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese—wrapped in buttery crescent dough. Perfect for brunch, meal prep, or as an on-the-go breakfast, these rolls are as delicious as they are simple to make.


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

  • Preheat the Oven
    • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cook the Sausage and Bacon
    • In a skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
    • Fry the bacon until crispy. Let it cool, then crumble into small pieces.
  • Prepare the Eggs
    • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and black pepper.
    • Pour the mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until scrambled and set. Remove from heat and stir in the diced red bell pepper.
  • Prepare the Dough
    • Roll out the crescent dough sheets on a flat surface. If using perforated dough, pinch the seams to create a solid sheet.
    • Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly across the dough.
  • Add the Fillings
    • Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese over the dough.
  • Roll and Slice
    • Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the longer side. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch rolls.
  • Bake
    • Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
    • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Serve
    • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor!

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: You can assemble the rolls the night before and refrigerate them. Bake fresh the next morning.
  • Freezing Option: Freeze the baked rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.
  • Substitutions: Use turkey sausage, ham, or vegetarian sausage for variety.
  • Storage: Keep leftover rolls in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
