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
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined for a flavorful scramble.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a preheated pan on the stovetop and scramble gently until fully cooked but still moist. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 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, creating a uniform base for the filling.
- Assemble Roll: Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the dough rectangle. Layer the cooled scrambled eggs, cooked ground sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Roll Up Dough: Roll the dough tightly from one side to the other, encasing the filling securely inside.
- Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices to create individual breakfast rolls.
- Bake: Place the rolls cut side up in the prepared 9×13-inch pan, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Serve: Remove rolls from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm to enjoy the full flavors.
Notes
- If crescent dough sheets are unavailable, substitute with a tube of pizza dough or 1-pound loaf of bread dough; thaw and rise as needed, then roll into a rectangle.
- For convenience, use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties (diced) and pre-cooked bacon to save preparation time.
- Alternate cream cheese options include garlic and herb or plain, as well as low-fat whipped cream cheese for a lighter version.
- Allow the eggs and cooked meat to cool slightly before spreading on dough to prevent it from becoming soggy and difficult to roll.
