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 and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to ensure the rolls don’t stick during baking.
- Mix Egg Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a skillet over medium heat and scramble until fully cooked. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl and let them cool slightly.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Open both cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them. Pinch together the long edges of the two sheets to create one large rectangle of dough.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the surface of the combined dough rectangle.
- Add Fillings: Layer the scrambled eggs over the cream cheese, followed by the cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly starting from one of the long edges to form a log shape containing all the fillings.
- Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices to create individual breakfast rolls.
- Arrange in Pan: Place the slices seam side down into the prepared baking pan, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 24 to 26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute regular cream cheese for the whipped chive and onion cream cheese if preferred.
- Make sure to cook the sausage and bacon thoroughly before assembling the rolls.
- Allow the scrambled eggs to cool slightly before spreading on the dough to avoid making the dough soggy.
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast.
