Ingredients

4 eggs

2 tablespoons red bell pepper (finely diced)

1 tablespoon milk

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 (8-ounce) cans crescent dough sheets*

⅓ cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese

8 ounces ground breakfast sausage (cooked)

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.

Scramble the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper. Scramble the eggs in a skillet over medium heat and set aside to let them cool a bit.

Prepare the Dough: Open the two cans of crescent dough and unroll the dough sheets. Pinch the long edges of the sheets together to form one large rectangle.

Spread the Cream Cheese: Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the dough.

Add the Fillings: Top the dough with the scrambled eggs, cooked ground sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Roll Up the Dough: Carefully roll up the dough tightly from one edge to the other.

Cut into Rolls: Use a serrated knife to cut the rolled-up dough into 12 equal slices.

Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls into the prepared baking pan and bake for 24-26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.

Serve Warm: Serve these warm, straight from the oven. Enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked breakfast sausage and bacon?

Yes, using pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties (diced) and pre-cooked bacon can save time. Just make sure to let the meat cool slightly before adding it to the dough.

What if I can’t find crescent dough sheets?

If you can’t find crescent dough sheets, you can substitute with regular crescent roll dough or pizza dough. Just roll out the dough into a rectangle before assembling.

Can I freeze these breakfast rolls?

Yes! After baking, let the rolls cool completely, then wrap them tightly and freeze them for up to 2 months. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls the night before and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, bake them directly from the fridge for a quick breakfast.

How do I ensure the dough doesn’t become soggy?

To prevent soggy dough, let the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage cool slightly before adding them to the dough. This will help keep the dough from becoming too soft while baking.
