Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Dough and Fillings

  • 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

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly using cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely diced red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper until well combined. Cook the egg mixture on the stovetop by scrambling it in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through, remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid melting the cream cheese when assembled.
  3. Prepare rolls: Unroll the crescent dough sheets on a clean surface and pinch the edges firmly together to create one large rectangular sheet. Spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the surface of the dough. Layer the cooled scrambled eggs evenly over the cream cheese, followed by the cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Roll up and slice: Starting at one edge, tightly roll the dough sheet into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Using a serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices.
  5. Bake: Arrange the sliced rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 24-26 minutes or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  6. Serve warm: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the scrambled eggs are cooled slightly before spreading on dough to prevent melting the cream cheese.
  • You can substitute the ground breakfast sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top before serving.
  • If you prefer, you can make these rolls ahead and refrigerate before baking—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
