Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or homemade dough)
Egg Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese and Meat
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon or sausage (use beef or turkey bacon for substitution)
Garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Assemble Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs onto the wide end of each triangle. Top with a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, then add pieces of cooked bacon or sausage.
- Roll and Place: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley, and serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with sausage or turkey bacon to suit your preference.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and increase the cheese or add sautéed vegetables.
- If homemade dough is not available, refrigerated crescent roll dough works perfectly and saves time.
- These rolls can be prepared ahead and reheated gently before serving.
- Ensure eggs are cooked softly to maintain a moist and tender filling inside the rolls.
