Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) ground breakfast sausage, cooked
- 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 eggs
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
Dough and Seasonings:
- 2 (8-ounce) cans crescent dough sheets
- 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, diced bell pepper, milk, and black pepper. Transfer to a skillet over medium heat and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Unroll the crescent dough sheets and press the long edges together to create one seamless rectangular surface.
- Spread cream cheese evenly across the entire dough surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer the scrambled eggs uniformly over the cream cheese, then strategically add cooked sausage, crumbled turkey bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long edge, creating a compact log-like shape.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal portions.
- Arrange the individual rolls in the prepared baking pan, maintaining slight spacing between each.
- Bake for 24-26 minutes until the tops turn golden brown and the dough appears fully cooked.
- Allow rolls to rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by hot sauce for additional flavor.
Notes
- Customize Fillings: Swap out meats for vegetarian options like spinach, mushrooms, or plant-based sausage crumbles to accommodate different dietary preferences.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack, gouda, or feta to add unique flavor profiles and keep the dish exciting.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare rolls the night before, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake directly from the refrigerator, adding 5-10 minutes to the cooking time for perfect morning convenience.
- Freezer Storage: These rolls freeze beautifully for up to 2 months. Wrap individually in foil and reheat in the oven for a quick grab-and-go breakfast option.
