Savory Sausage Breakfast Rolls

Golden breakfast rolls filled with egg, sausage, and melted cheese in a complete modern metal baking tray on bright white marble, with crisp browned edges and a soft, savory interior.

Savory Sausage Breakfast Rolls are soft, golden crescent rolls packed with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, crispy bacon, cheddar, and creamy chive and onion cream cheese. They take 55 mins from start to finish and make a hearty, easy breakfast for weekend brunch or busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans crescent dough sheets, 8 ounces each
  • ⅓ cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese
  • 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage, cooked
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Scramble the eggs: Whisk the eggs, red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper together. Cook in a skillet until just set, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the dough: Unroll both crescent dough sheets and place them beside each other. Pinch the long edges together to form one large rectangle, then spread the cream cheese evenly over the dough.
  4. Layer the filling: Scatter the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and cheddar evenly over the cream cheese.
  5. Roll and slice: Roll the dough snugly into a long log. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut it into 12 equal rolls and arrange them in the prepared pan.
  6. Bake the rolls: Bake for 24 to 26 mins, until the tops are golden brown and the dough in the centers is fully cooked. Serve warm.

Notes

Let the eggs, sausage, and bacon cool slightly before assembling so they don’t soften the crescent dough too quickly. Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat until hot through the center.
