How to Make Cheesy Breakfast Crescent Rolls
Step 1: Prep the Oven & Eggs
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, bell pepper, milk, and black pepper.
Scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Open the crescent dough cans and unroll them into sheets.
Pinch the long edges together to form one large rectangle.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Spread chive cream cheese evenly over the dough.
Layer with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Tightly roll up the dough from the long edge to form a log.
Step 4: Slice & Bake
Use a serrated knife to cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
Arrange the slices in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 24–26 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Serve warm and enjoy these flaky, cheesy breakfast rolls with your favorite coffee or tea.
