1 can refrigerated crescent dough sheet (or pizza dough)
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced red bell peppers (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
Non-stick spray or oil for pan

directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a skillet over medium heat, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook the eggs until softly scrambled, then remove from heat.
Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface and press into a rectangle if needed.
Evenly layer the scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, bell peppers (if using), and shredded cheddar over the dough.
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 1-inch rolls.
Place each roll flat in the prepared baking pan, spaced slightly apart.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm.

FAQs

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare and assemble the rolls the night before, refrigerate them covered, and bake them fresh in the morning.

What kind of dough works best?

Refrigerated crescent dough sheet is convenient and easy to work with, but pizza dough or homemade biscuit dough also work well.

Can I freeze these breakfast rolls?

Yes, baked rolls can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or microwave from frozen.

How do I prevent the rolls from getting soggy?

Allow the scrambled eggs to cool slightly before layering, and avoid overloading with too many wet ingredients.

Are these rolls good for meal prep?

Absolutely. They’re portable, reheat well, and can be made in batches for the week.

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Yes, substitute 8 tablespoons of egg whites for the 4 whole eggs if you prefer a lighter option.

What’s the best way to reheat these?

Microwave for 30–45 seconds for a quick option, or reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes for a crispier finish.

How do I make these rolls gluten-free?

Use a gluten-free crescent dough or pizza dough alternative and check labels on sausage and bacon for gluten.

Can I make a vegetarian version?

Yes, skip the meat and use vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or peppers for a delicious meat-free variation.

Do I need to grease the pan if I use parchment paper?

If you use parchment paper, you can skip the greasing, but lightly greasing ensures the rolls brown well and don’t stick.
