Yeast: You need 1 TBSP of yeast to make these amazing breakfast rolls.

Flour: The structural base of these rolls is 2 ½ – 3 cups of flour.

Toppings

Butter: You need 2 TBSP of butter, melted, to add a nice rich flavor to these rolls.

Cheese: Use 2 cups of shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, divided, for amazing flavor and texture too.

Bacon: For savory flavor and protein in this dish, you need 12-15 slices of thin bacon, cooked and chopped.

Step by step on how to make Breakfast Rolls

Dough

Start by combining the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes, until the yeast is bubbling up.

Then add the oil, salt, and flour. Start with 2 ½ cups of flour, then add more until the dough cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. (I use a mixer for this part as it makes it just so much easier!)

Continue mixing for an additional 3-4 minutes, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. In cold weather, I like to turn my oven on for about 3 or 4 minutes, then turn it off and let my dough rest in the oven.

Prep

Before you begin assembling the rolls, a few ingredients need to be cooked beforehand. The eggs need to be scrambled, the bacon and sausage need to be cooked as well. Try this easy way to cook bacon to simplify one step. Feel free to use precooked bacon and sausage for this recipe, I did!

Once all those items are cooked and ready, get the oven preheated to 400 degrees F.

Assemble

Now spray your countertop with non-stick cooking spray and roll the dough out into a large rectangle about ¼″ thick. Then brush the dough with melted butter and spread the scrambled eggs across the top.

Proceed to sprinkle the shredded cheese on top (reserving about ½ cup for later), then spread the bacon and sausage. Crumble the bacon on top as you go, slice the sausage into small chunks to spread.

Then starting with one of the long sides of the rectangle, roll the dough up tightly, working from one end to the other end horizontally, then back again. Pinch the seams closed at the ends. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut 1 ½″ sections of dough from the large roll. This should result in about 15 rolls.

Bake

Transfer the sliced rolls onto a large greased baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and top them with the remaining ½ cup cheese.

Return the rolls to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted, and rolls are just beginning to turn golden brown.

If desired, brush the tops with melted butter again. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions for Breakfast Rolls

Accompaniments: Breakfast rolls filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheese are a complete meal in themselves, but they can be enjoyed with some accompaniments for added flavor and nutrition. Here are some suggestions:

• Fresh fruit salad: A colorful and refreshing mix of seasonal fruits such as berries, melons, grapes, and citrus fruits can balance the richness of the rolls and provide vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.
• Yogurt: A dollop of plain or flavored yogurt can add creaminess and tang to the rolls and supply probiotics and protein.
• Hash browns: Crispy and golden hash browns can complement the savory and soft rolls and offer carbohydrates and potassium.

Presentation Tips: To make the breakfast rolls look appetizing and appealing, consider these presentation tips:

• Slice them diagonally: Cutting the rolls diagonally into halves or thirds can expose the colorful and textured filling and create a visual contrast with the soft and golden crust.
• Arrange them on a platter: Placing the rolls on a large platter or tray can create a sense of abundance and generosity and encourage sharing and mingling.
• Serve them warm: Heating the rolls in a preheated oven or microwave for a few minutes can revive their crispiness and warmth and make them more satisfying and comforting.

How long are these good for?

Breakfast rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To store breakfast rolls, place them in an airtight container.

To reheat, simply microwave for 30-60 seconds or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

Can I make these breakfast rolls meat free?

Yes, you can make these breakfast rolls meat free by omitting the bacon and sausage and adding in your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

Variations of breakfast rolls that include meat and cheese

If you want to switch up the filling, try adding in ham, turkey, or even chorizo for a spicy kick. You can also switch up the cheese by using cheddar, pepper jack, or even feta.

Can breakfast rolls be prepared ahead of time and frozen?

Yes, you can prepare breakfast rolls ahead of time and freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.

How do you ensure breakfast rolls stay moist after baking?

To ensure that breakfast rolls stay fresh and moist after baking, brush them with melted butter or olive oil as soon as they come out of the oven. This will help to keep the dough soft and prevent it from drying out.
