Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (or sausage/veggie mix)
Base/Dough:
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal preparation.
- Carefully unfold the crescent dough on a clean surface, gently separating each triangle to maintain their delicate shape.
- Position a generous portion of fluffy scrambled eggs at the broader end of each triangle, creating a hearty base for the filling.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon evenly across the eggs, ensuring a consistent distribution of savory protein throughout each roll.
- Add a layer of shredded cheese over the bacon, allowing it to melt and bind the ingredients together during baking.
- Season the filling with a light dusting of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Carefully roll the dough from the wide end, encasing the filling and creating a tight, compact bundle of deliciousness.
- Seal the edges by pinching them together, preventing any ingredients from escaping during the cooking process.
- Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them seam-side down to maintain their structural integrity.
- Optional: Brush the top of each roll with melted butter for a golden, glossy finish.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes until the rolls turn a rich, appetizing golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes, helping them set and become easier to handle.
- Serve immediately while warm, providing a delightful breakfast experience with every bite.
Notes
- Customize fillings by using ham, sausage, or vegetarian alternatives like scrambled tofu for diverse dietary preferences.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by ensuring eggs are not too wet and draining excess moisture from bacon before adding to rolls.
- Enhance flavor by sprinkling everything bagel seasoning or herbs like chives on top before baking for extra zest.
- Make ahead and freeze assembled rolls unbaked, wrapped tightly in plastic, for quick weekday breakfasts that can be baked directly from frozen.
