Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- 1 tablespoon butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make the scrambled eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until just set but still moist. Remove from heat and allow the eggs to cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into rectangles. Pinch the seams together to seal and create a solid base for the filling.
- Assemble the rolls: Spoon an even amount of scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and chopped green onions onto each dough rectangle. Roll each up tightly like a cinnamon roll, folding in the sides slightly to keep the filling contained.
- Arrange and brush: Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter to enhance browning and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the breakfast rolls cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to settle and prevent burning your mouth.
Notes
- Customize the filling by adding diced bell peppers, spinach, or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- These breakfast rolls are perfect for meal prepping—store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.
- Use puff pastry dough instead of crescent roll dough for a flakier texture.
- To make it vegetarian, omit sausage or bacon and add extra vegetables or plant-based sausage.
