Is there anything better than waking up to the smell of freshly baked breakfast rolls? These Fluffy & Cheesy Breakfast Rolls are a total game-changer—soft, golden, and loaded with savory goodness. If you’re tired of the usual eggs and toast, this recipe is here to shake up your morning routine with layers of creamy cheese, scrambled eggs, crispy turkey bacon, and sausage all rolled into a warm, buttery crescent dough.

I love recipes that bring comfort and convenience together, and this one does just that. Whether you’re making them for a cozy family breakfast, a weekend brunch, or even a grab-and-go meal prep option, these rolls are going to be a staple in your kitchen. And the best part? They are ridiculously easy to make.

So, let’s get started!

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Before diving into the magic of rolling up all that goodness, we need to get the basics out of the way.

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent any sticking.

This simple step ensures that the rolls bake evenly and don’t cling to the pan when they’re done.

Step 2: Scramble Those Eggs

Eggs are the heart of any breakfast recipe, and in this case, we’re making soft, fluffy scrambled eggs with a touch of creaminess.

Whisk together:

• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp finely diced red bell pepper
• 1 tbsp milk
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the egg mixture, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set.
• Remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly—this helps prevent them from overcooking in the oven.

Pro Tip: Avoid overcooking the eggs in this step. You want them slightly underdone because they’ll continue to cook in the oven.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Now, onto the fun part—working with the crescent dough! Crescent roll dough makes this recipe a breeze. It’s soft, buttery, and bakes up into the perfect flaky texture.

• Unroll two (8 oz) cans of crescent dough sheets onto a clean, lightly floured surface.
• Pinch the long edges together to form one large rectangle.

If your dough has perforations, gently press them together to seal any gaps. We want one smooth sheet for easy rolling!

Step 4: Layering the Filling

This is where the magic happens! We’re going to layer all that savory breakfast goodness onto the dough.

• Spread 1/3 cup of whipped chive and onion cream cheese evenly over the dough.
• Evenly distribute the following ingredients:

• Scrambled eggs
• 8 oz cooked breakfast sausage
• 4 slices of crispy crumbled turkey bacon
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

The combination of the creamy spread with the eggs, meat, and gooey melted cheese is what makes these rolls irresistible.

Pro Tip: Don’t overstuff the rolls! Too much filling can make rolling difficult and cause them to fall apart.

Step 5: Roll It Up Tightly

• Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, making sure the filling stays evenly distributed inside.
• Use gentle but firm pressure while rolling to keep everything intact.
• Once you’ve rolled it all the way, pinch the seam closed to prevent it from unrolling while baking.

Pro Tip: If your dough sticks while rolling, use a light dusting of flour on your work surface.

Step 6: Slice Into Perfect Rolls

Now that we’ve got our breakfast roll log, it’s time to slice it into 12 even pieces.

Grab a sharp serrated knife and gently slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
Try to cut straight down instead of sawing back and forth to avoid squishing the layers.

If the dough is too soft and hard to cut cleanly, pop the roll into the fridge for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Once you have your perfect spirals, place them cut-side up into the greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spacing them out slightly.

Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection

Now for the best part—baking these beauties!

• Place the baking pan into the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
• Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
• Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid over-baking.

Your kitchen is about to smell amazing—warm, buttery dough with the rich aroma of melted cheese, crispy turkey bacon, and savory sausage.

Pro Tip: If the tops are browning too quickly but the centers aren’t done yet, loosely cover the pan with foil for the last few minutes of baking.

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy!

Once baked to golden perfection, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the cheese settle so they hold their shape better.

Serve them warm and enjoy as is, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Bonus Tips for the Best Breakfast Rolls

• Make Ahead Option: You can assemble the rolls the night before and store them in the fridge overnight. Simply cover the pan with plastic wrap and bake fresh in the morning!
• Reheating: Warm leftovers in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes or microwave for 30-40 seconds to keep them soft and gooey.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Breakfast Rolls

1. Can I use pre-made scrambled eggs instead of cooking fresh ones?

Yes! If you’re short on time, pre-made scrambled eggs or even leftover scrambled eggs work well in this recipe. Just make sure they’re not overcooked, as they’ll continue baking in the oven.

2. What can I use instead of crescent dough sheets?

If you can’t find crescent dough sheets, you can use regular crescent roll dough and press the seams together. Puff pastry or even homemade pizza dough also work, though they’ll change the texture slightly.

3. How do I prevent my rolls from getting soggy?

To keep your rolls from getting soggy:

• Let the scrambled eggs cool before layering them on the dough.
• Don’t overload with cheese (even though it’s tempting!).
• Bake until golden brown to ensure everything is cooked through.

4. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Absolutely! You have two options:

• Refrigerate Overnight: Assemble the rolls, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning!
• Freeze for Later: Assemble, slice, and freeze before baking. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as directed.

5. What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes or microwave for 30-40 seconds to keep them soft and fresh.

6. Can I add veggies or other ingredients?

Of course! Feel free to get creative with the filling. Some great additions include:

• Spinach – for a nutrient boost
• Jalapeños – for a spicy kick
• Caramelized onions – for extra flavor
• Mushrooms – for an umami touch

7. What can I serve with these breakfast rolls?

These rolls are a meal on their own, but if you’re making a full breakfast spread, pair them with:

• Fresh fruit (berries, orange slices, or melon)
• A simple green salad for a brunch twist
• A smoothie or fresh juice for a refreshing side
