The Ultimate Guide to Breakfast Rolls: A Hearty, Handheld Morning Masterpiece

These Breakfast Rolls are a hearty morning treat! Filled with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese, and wrapped in buttery crescent dough, they’re perfect for weekend breakfasts, brunches, or feeding a crowd. With premade dough, they’re surprisingly quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 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 to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  • Scramble eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, bell pepper, milk, and black pepper. Scramble on the stovetop and let cool slightly.

  • Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent dough sheets. Pinch the long edges together to form one large rectangle.

  • Add fillings: Spread cream cheese evenly over the dough. Top with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar.

  • Roll and slice: Roll the dough tightly, then use a serrated knife to cut into 12 equal slices. Place rolls in the prepared pan.

  • Bake: Bake for 24–26 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

  • Serve: Serve warm and enjoy a hearty breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Assemble the rolls the night before and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.

  • Vegetable boost: Add chopped spinach, mushrooms, or onions for extra nutrients.

  • Cheese variations: Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella for a different flavor.

  • Meal prep: These rolls can be frozen before or after baking. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
