Ingredients
1 can refrigerated crescent roll sheets (or pizza/bread dough, rolled out)
4 oz whipped cream cheese (plain or flavored)
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 lb ground beef, sausage, chicken, or turkey
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (mild, medium, or sharp)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Scramble eggs with milk, bell pepper, and black pepper, cooking until softly set.
In a separate skillet, cook sausage, beef, or chicken until browned and cooked through. Drain if needed.
Roll out crescent dough into a large rectangle. Spread with cream cheese.
Evenly sprinkle cooked meat, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese over cream cheese layer.
Roll dough tightly from the long side, like cinnamon rolls. Slice into 12 even pieces.
Place rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
Bake 20–25 minutes, until rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or a cheese blend.
Add spinach, mushrooms, jalapeños, or onions for extra veggies.
For a lighter option, use ground turkey or chicken.
Can be assembled the night before, covered, and baked fresh in the morning.
Freeze baked rolls individually for up to 2 months; reheat in oven or microwave.
