There’s nothing better than waking up to homemade cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven! Or a batch of Pumpkin or Apple Cinnamon Rolls on those cool fall mornings!  But sometimes you need something a little more hearty and savory to keep you going.  These sausage, egg and cheese Breakfast Rolls are so so SO good & loved by the entire family!  

Ingredients Needed

• Refrigerated Crescent Roll Sheets – If you can’t find crescent sheets, you can use one tube of pizza dough and roll it out to a rectangle OR thaw a 1-pound loaf of bread dough and roll it out to a triangle.
• Cream Cheese – I prefer to use whipped cream cheese as it’s easy to spread.  Use whatever savory flavor you’d like.
• Scrambled Eggs – Make your own with eggs, red bell pepper, milk and black pepper or use leftover scrambled eggs!
• Meat – Change it up with sausage, bacon, ham or a little of each!
• Cheese – You can use mild, medium or sharp cheddar cheese.

How to Make Breakfast Rolls

Prepare the filling components.  

To do so, you’ll cook the ground sausage and bacon and set them aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the scrambled egg ingredients.  You can cook the eggs in a skillet over medium heat or cook in the microwave!  Simply cook on high heat in 30 second intervals, stirring with a rubber spatula between intervals until you’ve got cooked scrambled eggs.

Now it’s time to assemble the rolls & bake!

Open the cans of crescent dough and place them on the countertop.  If you’re worried it’ll stick, you can do this on a lightly floured surface.

Pinch together the two pieces of dough to form one rectangle then spread the cream cheese over the dough.

Next, top with the eggs, sausage, bacon and cheese.

Use both hands to roll up the dough tightly.  You’ll have one long roll.

Cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp serrated knife or unflavored dental floss.

Transfer the rolls to a greased baking dish and bake!

Once they’re a nice golden brown, remove them from the oven.  You can brush with a little melted butter and top with parsley, if desired!

Serve alone or with frozen fruit cups to complete the meal!

Variations

• Try different flavors of whipped cream cheese!  Plain, garlic & herb or roasted red pepper are all great options! 
• No whipped cream cheese?  No problem.  Use regular cream cheese and let it soften on the counter before spreading onto the dough.
• Use bacon, sausage, ham or all of the above! 
• Try adding different veggies such as sautéed onions, peppers and mushrooms!
• Try using different cheeses.  Colby Jack, Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack are all great options!
• Use 1 pound of frozen bread dough in place of the crescent rolls.  Follow package instructions to thaw and roll out to a large rectangle before filling.

Time Saving Tip!

Use a package of pre-cooked sausage patties or links and dice them to save time on cooking!  You can also purchase pre-cooked bacon!

​Storing Breakfast Rolls

In the Fridge

Let the rolls cool to room temperature and cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.  Refrigerate for up to 5 days (a great option for meal prep!) and when you’re ready to enjoy, simply pop one in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up!  

In the Freezer

These rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months in a foil pan or as individual rolls keep in a freezer bag.  When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw completely then microwave until warm.
