The cooking process explained

Making these rolls is a simple and enjoyable process. First, you’ll prepare the filling by cooking the breakfast sausage and scrambling the eggs. Once your filling is ready, you’ll roll it into the dough and bake until golden. This might sound straightforward, but the results are incredibly satisfying, with each bite offering a burst of flavor and texture.

What you’ll need

Breakfast sausage: Choose your favorite type for the best flavor.
Eggs: Fresh, large eggs work best for scrambling.
Dough: Store-bought pizza or biscuit dough saves time, but homemade can add a personal touch.
Cheese: A blend of sharp cheddar and mozzarella elevates the dish, but feel free to experiment.
Salt and pepper: Essential for enhancing your filling’s flavor.

Step-by-step instructions

Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your dough.
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble them in the skillet until just cooked.
Open your dough and lay it out. Cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Place a spoonful of sausage and scrambled eggs on each dough piece, topping with shredded cheese.
Roll up each piece tightly and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Bake according to the dough package instructions, until puffed and golden brown.

Best ways to enjoy it

These rolls are perfect as they are, but consider pairing them with fresh fruit salad or a yogurt parfait for a well-rounded meal. A side of hash browns or a light salad could also complement the hearty flavors nicely. If you want to elevate the experience, drizzle them with a little hot sauce or serve them with salsa for a fun twist.

Storage and reheating tips

To keep your Baked Sausage and Egg Breakfast Rolls fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months—just make sure they’re completely cooled before wrapping them in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat them in the oven for the best texture.

Helpful cooking tips

Cook your sausage well: Fully cooking your sausage ensures that any excess fat is drained, which keeps the rolls from becoming greasy.
Don’t overstuff: While it’s tempting to fill the rolls to the brim, overstuffing can cause them to burst in the oven.
Experiment with spices: Adding herbs or spices to your eggs can take the flavor profile to another level. Consider adding paprika or smoked seasoning for an extra kick.

Creative twists

If you want to mix things up, try using different meats like chorizo or turkey sausage. You can also incorporate vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition. For a breakfast sweet treat, substitute the savory filling with cinnamon sugar, apples, and cream cheese.

Common questions

How long does it take to make?
Preparation and cooking take about 35-40 minutes, making these a quick option for breakfast or brunch.

Can I use different types of dough?
Absolutely! Feel free to use puff pastry or even homemade bread dough for a different texture.

How do I reheat them?
Reheat your breakfast rolls in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or microwave them for about 30 seconds to a minute, although the oven gives them better texture.
