- Large eggs
- Red bell pepper, finely diced
- Milk
- Black pepper
- Ground breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Tips for Making the Best Breakfast Rolls
1. Use Quality Ingredients for Maximum Flavor
The better your ingredients, the better your rolls will taste. Opt for high-quality breakfast sausage, crispy bacon, and freshly grated cheese for the best flavor.
2. Let the Eggs Cool Slightly Before Assembling
Hot scrambled eggs can make the dough too soft and difficult to roll. Let them cool for a few minutes before assembling.
3. Roll the Dough Evenly and Tightly
To ensure even baking, roll the dough firmly but gently so all the ingredients are securely wrapped inside.
4. Avoid Overfilling the Rolls
While it’s tempting to stuff them with extra cheese and meat, too much filling can make rolling difficult and lead to leaks during baking.
5. Brush the Rolls with Butter for a Golden Finish
For extra flakiness and a rich, buttery flavor, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before baking.
Best Ways to Serve Breakfast Rolls
While these rolls are delicious on their own, pairing them with the right sides can take your breakfast experience to the next level.
1. Serve with a Side of Fresh Fruit
A bowl of mixed berries, sliced bananas, or citrus fruits adds a refreshing contrast to the rich, savory flavors.
2. Pair with Hash Browns or Breakfast Potatoes
Crispy hash browns, home fries, or sweet potato hash complement these breakfast rolls perfectly.
3. Drizzle with Maple Syrup or Hot Honey
For a sweet-savory contrast, drizzle the rolls with warm maple syrup or a bit of hot honey. The combination is irresistible.
4. Add a Side of Yogurt or Cottage Cheese
A scoop of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese balances out the meal with a cool, creamy texture.
5. Make It a Full Brunch Spread
Serve with coffee, fresh juice, or mimosas alongside omelets, pancakes, or avocado toast for the ultimate brunch.
