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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined.
- Scramble Eggs: Cook the egg mixture on the stovetop in a non-stick pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until fully scrambled. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Dough: Open the cans of crescent dough and unroll the sheets. Pinch the two long edges together to form one large rectangle for easier rolling.
- Assemble Rolls: Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the rolled out dough rectangle. Then, layer the scrambled eggs, cooked ground sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Roll and Slice: Roll the dough tightly lengthwise into a log. Using a serrated knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the slices cut side up in the prepared baking pan, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 26 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the breakfast rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.
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.
- For convenience, use pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties (diced) and pre-cooked bacon to save time.
- Feel free to substitute the cream cheese with garlic and herb, plain, or low-fat whipped cream cheese varieties.
- Allow the eggs and cooked meat to cool slightly before spreading on the dough to prevent it from becoming overly soft and difficult to roll.
