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
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix eggs and veggies: 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 on the stovetop and scramble over medium heat until fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare dough: Open the cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll them. Pinch the two long edges together to form one large rectangular sheet of dough.
- Add cream cheese: Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving no gaps.
- Layer fillings: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, cooked ground sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll and slice: Roll up the dough tightly starting from one edge, then use a serrated knife to cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices.
- Arrange and bake: Place the slices upright in the prepared baking pan, spacing slightly apart. Bake for 26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for best flavor.
Notes
- If crescent dough sheets are unavailable, substitute with a tube of pizza dough or a 1-pound loaf of bread dough that has been thawed, risen, and rolled into a rectangle.
- To save time, use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties (diced) and pre-cooked bacon.
- Feel free to swap in garlic and herb, plain, or low-fat whipped cream cheese as alternatives.
- Allow the eggs and meat mixture to cool slightly before spreading on the dough to prevent it from becoming too soft and difficult to roll.
