Ingredients List

For the Breakfast Rolls:

• 8 large refrigerated crescent roll dough triangles (1 standard tube)
• 6 large eggs, scrambled
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
• 8 strips of cooked bacon or breakfast sausage
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional add-ins:

• Diced bell peppers
• Spinach leaves
• Sliced mushrooms
• Diced ham (great sandwich idea for breakfast)
• Hot sauce or salsa for serving

Timing

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes

This quick breakfast solution saves approximately 15-20 minutes compared to traditional breakfast casseroles, making it perfect for creating an easy breakfast platter when time is limited.

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pro tip: Slightly chilling your crescent roll dough before unwrapping makes it easier to handle.

Step 2: Assemble the Base

Unroll the crescent dough triangles on your prepared baking sheet. For sturdier breakfast rolls, press two triangles together at the perforated edges to form rectangles instead.

Step 3: Add Fillings

Place a portion of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of cheese, and your choice of meat in the center of each dough piece. Remember, less is more—overfilling leads to messy rolls!

Step 4: Roll and Seal

Carefully fold the corners of the dough over the fillings, pinching the edges to seal. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and chives.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp. The cheese should be fully melted and the rolls should feel firm to the touch.

Serving Suggestions

Create an impressive breakfast for 4 people by arranging these breakfast rolls on a wooden board alongside fresh fruit, yogurt cups, and small ramekins of maple syrup or hot sauce. They make excellent breakfast party finger foods when sliced in half. For brunch to go ideas, wrap individual rolls in parchment paper and pair with fruit cups.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overstuffing the rolls (causes filling leakage)
2. Not sealing edges properly (leads to filling explosion)
3. Skipping the egg wash (results in less golden crust)
4. Overcooking (produces dry rolls)

Storing Tips for the Recipe

These breakfast rolls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For freezing, wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat refrigerated rolls in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds. These make perfect breakfast ideas for working men who need grab-and-go options throughout the week.
