Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 tube crescent dough sheet (or crescent rolls, seams pressed together)
Filling
- 6 large eggs, scrambled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
For Serving
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish or sheet to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the rolls.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a floured surface. Smooth it into a rectangle shape and press seams firmly to seal any gaps, creating a solid base for the filling.
- Cook the Eggs: In a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs seasoned with salt and black pepper. Cook until just set but still moist, avoiding overcooking for the best texture.
- Layer the Fillings: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the prepared dough. Sprinkle shredded cheddar, mozzarella cheeses, and chopped green onions evenly on top of the eggs for a flavorful balance.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the long side, roll the dough and filling tightly into a log shape. Slice the log into 8–10 even rolls for individual servings.
- Bake: Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the greased baking dish or sheet. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the rolls are puffed and golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and bubbly.
- Butter and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter for a rich, glossy finish. Let them cool slightly before serving warm to enjoy the melty cheese and soft texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the crescent dough with puff pastry if preferred, but adjust baking time accordingly.
- Green onions are optional but add a fresh flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve these rolls warm with a side of fresh fruit or your favorite breakfast sides.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
