Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons red bell pepper finely diced
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dough
- 2 8-ounce cans crescent dough sheets
Fillings
- 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 and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Egg Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cook and Cool Eggs: Scramble the egg mixture on the stovetop over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to avoid sogginess later.
- Prepare Dough Sheet: Open the two cans of crescent dough and unroll the sheets onto a clean surface. Pinch the long edges together to form one large rectangle of dough.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the entire dough rectangle.
- Add Fillings: Sprinkle the scrambled eggs evenly over the cream cheese, followed by the cooked ground sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese, distributing them uniformly.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a serrated knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the rolls cut side up into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- 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 1 pound of bread dough that has been thawed, allowed to rise, and rolled into a rectangle.
- Use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties (diced) and pre-cooked bacon to save time during preparation.
- Other cream cheese variants such as garlic and herb, plain, or low-fat whipped cream cheese can be used as alternatives.
- Allow the eggs and meats to cool slightly before spreading on the dough to prevent it from becoming too soft and difficult to roll.
