Whether it’s a laid-back weekend, brunch for friends, or just because you want to savor something special, these Breakfast Rolls deliver big flavor, ooey-gooey texture, and pure comfort in every bite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

The magic of Breakfast Rolls comes from simple, everyday pantry staples elevated by each ingredient’s unique touch. Each component brings something essential to the table—whether it’s richness, color, or that soul-satisfying breakfast aroma.

4 eggs: Silky scrambled eggs form the hearty core of these Breakfast Rolls and bind all the delicious layers together.
2 tablespoons red bell pepper (finely diced): Adds a burst of color and gentle sweetness for maximum visual and flavor appeal.
1 tablespoon milk: Keeps the eggs extra fluffy and tender—never dry.
1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Brings a little warmth to brighten the richness of the filling.
2 8-ounce cans crescent dough sheets: The golden, flaky shell that crisps up perfectly in the oven—no rolling pin required!
1/3 cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese: Luscious and savory, this acts as the secret flavor booster you’ll want to slather on everything.
8 ounces ground breakfast sausage (cooked): Adds that classic, hearty breakfast flavor and a satisfying bite.
4 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled): Who can resist the smokiness and crunch that only bacon brings?
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese: Melts into gooey perfection and brings a sharp, cheesy kiss to every bite.

How to Make Breakfast Rolls

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Begin by preheating your oven to 350℉. Take a moment to grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with a little cooking spray—this ensures your Breakfast Rolls turn out crispy on the outside and easy to serve.

Step 2: Whisk Up the Eggs

Grab a mixing bowl and whisk together the eggs, those pretty red bell pepper bits, milk, and black pepper. The tiny pepper flecks will give your eggs a beautiful color and subtle kick.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

Heat a skillet over medium and scramble your egg mixture until just set. Don’t overcook—you want soft, fluffy curds. Once done, set the scrambled eggs aside to cool slightly; this keeps the dough from getting soggy later.

Step 4: Shape the Dough Base

Bust open the crescent dough cans (so satisfying!) and unroll the sheets onto a clean surface. Pinch their long edges together to make one big, seamless rectangle. This is your blank canvas for flavor.

Step 5: Slather with Cream Cheese

Using a spatula, spread that dreamy chive and onion cream cheese all over the dough—right up to the edges. This layer melts into the dough as it bakes and infuses every bite.

Step 6: Add the Fillings

Now, get generous: scatter your scrambled eggs on top, then sprinkle with the cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and a lush blanket of cheddar cheese. Each filling brings its own part to the party.

Step 7: Roll It Up

Starting from one long end, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Go slow, keeping everything snug inside. This creates those signature Breakfast Rolls swirls!

Step 8: Slice the Rolls

With a serrated knife, gently cut the log into 12 equal slices. If you have little helpers, this might be their favorite step—just watch those fingers!

Step 9: Arrange and Bake

Transfer each slice, spiral-side up, into your prepared baking pan. Pop it in the oven and bake for 24 to 26 minutes, until the tops are beautifully golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10: Serve Warm

Remove the Breakfast Rolls from the oven and let them cool just long enough to handle—there’s truly nothing better than tearing into a gooey, savory roll while it’s still warm and the aroma fills the kitchen.

How to Serve Breakfast Rolls

Garnishes

Top your freshly baked Breakfast Rolls with a sprinkling of chopped chives, parsley, or even a light dusting of extra cheddar. A little drizzle of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream at the table never hurts, either!

Side Dishes

Pair these Breakfast Rolls with a crisp green salad, crisp hash browns, or a big bowl of fresh fruit. If you’re going all-out, set out some yogurt and granola for a full brunch spread your guests won’t forget.

Creative Ways to Present

Arrange the rolls in a spiral on a rustic serving board, or tuck them into paper liners for grab-and-go brunches. For a festive touch, set out flaked sea salt or flavored butters on the side so everyone can customize their roll.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Have a few Breakfast Rolls left? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They reheat wonderfully, making breakfast just as delicious the second time around.

Freezing

Breakfast Rolls can be frozen before or after baking. Just wrap individual rolls tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to two months—perfect for meal prep or lazy weekends.

Reheating

To reheat, simply pop a roll in the microwave for 20–30 seconds if you’re in a hurry, or warm them on a baking sheet in a 325℉ oven for about 10 minutes. They’ll come out gooey and just as satisfying as day one.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of cheese in my Breakfast Rolls?

Absolutely! While cheddar brings a sharp contrast, you can swap in Monterey Jack, pepper jack for a little kick, or even mozzarella for extra meltiness. The beauty of Breakfast Rolls is how easy they are to customize.

Can I make Breakfast Rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and refrigerate them, covered, overnight before baking. In the morning, just bake as directed (you might need to add an extra couple of minutes).

What’s the best way to transport Breakfast Rolls for a potluck?

Let the Breakfast Rolls cool for about 10 minutes after baking, then transfer them to a lidded casserole dish. Tuck a clean kitchen towel inside the lid to keep them warm and fresh while en route.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Definitely! Simply leave out the sausage and bacon, or substitute your favorite meat-free alternatives. Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra heartiness and flavor.

What if I can’t find crescent dough sheets?

No problem—just use regular crescent roll dough and pinch the perforations together well. You’ll still get those beautiful Breakfast Rolls layers, and nobody will know the difference.

Final Thoughts

If you’re craving a breakfast treat that’s equal parts easy and extraordinary, these Breakfast Rolls are your new secret weapon. They’re as fun to make as they are to eat, and every bite is packed with pure, homemade comfort. Give them a try and get ready to wow your friends, family, and most importantly, yourself!
