Description

Delicious breakfast rolls filled with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

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

Dough and Fillings

  • 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 and Prepare Pan: Preheat your 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, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Scramble Eggs: Cook the egg mixture on the stovetop, scrambling until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Dough: Open the two cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them. Pinch the two long edges 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 scrambled eggs, cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese.
  7. Roll Dough: Carefully roll up the dough tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log.
  8. Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices.
  9. Bake Rolls: Place the slices cut side up into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. Serve: Remove from oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If crescent dough sheets are unavailable, substitute with a tube of pizza dough or a 1-pound loaf of bread dough, thawed, risen, and rolled into a rectangle.
  • To save time, use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties (diced) and pre-cooked bacon.
  • Other cream cheese varieties like garlic and herb, plain, or low-fat whipped cream cheese can be used.
  • Allow scrambled eggs and meat to cool before assembling to prevent the dough from becoming too soft and difficult to roll.
