Ingredients

Dough

  • Crescent roll dough or dough of choice (1 package or amount as per servings)

Fillings

  • Eggs (2-4, scrambled)
  • Bacon or sausage (4-6 strips or links, cooked and chopped)
  • Cheese (1 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred cheese)
  • Fresh herbs or spinach (¼ cup chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Optional Variations

  • Mushrooms, bell peppers, or avocado (for vegetarian option)
  • Jalapeños, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Cream cheese and fruit preserves (for sweet variation)
  • Gluten-free crescent roll dough (if gluten free option needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your dough: Preheat your oven according to the dough package instructions. If using store-bought crescent roll dough, lay the sheets flat on a clean surface and gently separate the triangles.
  2. Cook the fillings: In a skillet, cook your choice of bacon, sausage, or vegetables until fully cooked and nicely browned. Lightly scramble the eggs with salt and pepper for added flavor.
  3. Assemble the rolls: On each dough triangle, place a spoonful of cooked eggs, meat, cheese, and any veggies or herbs you want. Fold or roll the dough tightly to enclose the filling, then place the rolls seam side down on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake until golden: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and flaky. The cheese should be melted and the rolls slightly puffed.
  5. Serve warm: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns, then enjoy your Easy Breakfast Rolls fresh and warm.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature dough for easier rolling without tearing.
  • Do not overload fillings to prevent bursting and uneven baking.
  • Brush rolls with beaten egg before baking for a beautiful golden crust.
  • Pre-cook all fillings thoroughly to ensure safety and flavor.
  • Let rolls cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to set and for easier handling.
