Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

4 eggs
2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Dough & Spread

2 8-ounce cans crescent dough sheets
1/3 cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese

Fillings

8 ounces ground breakfast sausage, cooked
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to ensure the rolls don’t stick.
Mix Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until combined.
Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a skillet over medium heat and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Prepare Dough: Open the two 8-ounce cans of crescent dough sheets and unroll each one. Pinch the long edges of both dough sheets together to create one large rectangular sheet.
Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread 1/3 cup whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the prepared dough rectangle as the base layer.
Add Fillings: Layer the cooled scrambled eggs evenly over the cream cheese, then sprinkle the cooked ground breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Roll Dough: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, encasing the fillings inside.
Slice Rolls: Use a serrated knife to cut the rolled dough log into 12 equal slices.
Arrange for Baking: Place the 12 individual rolls cut side up into the greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spaced slightly apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 24 to 26 minutes or until the tops are beautifully golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.

Notes

You can substitute regular cream cheese for the whipped chive and onion variety if unavailable.
Make sure to cook the sausage and bacon thoroughly before adding to the rolls.
For easier slicing, allow the rolled dough to rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
Serve warm with your favorite breakfast condiments like salsa or hot sauce.
These rolls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast option.
