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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray to prepare for baking.
- Mix Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Cook Eggs: Scramble the egg mixture on the stovetop over medium heat until fully cooked. Set aside to let the eggs cool slightly to prevent dough becoming soggy.
- Prepare Dough: Open the two cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them. Pinch the long edges together to form one large rectangle as the base for your rolls.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the crescent dough rectangle to add flavor and moisture.
- Add Fillings: Layer the cooled scrambled eggs, cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese spread.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up the dough tightly from one end to the other, then use a serrated knife to cut into 12 equal slices to form individual rolls.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the slices cut-side up into the greased baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
- 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; thaw and roll out into a rectangle.
- Use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties and pre-cooked bacon to save preparation time and reduce mess.
- Smooth variations in flavor can be achieved by swapping the cream cheese for garlic and herb, plain, or low-fat whipped cream cheese options.
- Allow the eggs and meat fillings to cool before spreading on the dough to avoid softening the dough too much, which can make rolling difficult.
