What Makes Savory Sunrise Breakfast Rolls So Irresistible?

The best part about these rolls is the way bold flavors of breakfast classics meld together as they bake. The gooey cheese, smoky bacon, and sautéed vegetables are all wrapped in soft, golden dough. Each bite offers a satisfying contrast of crisp edges and soft, cheesy centers.

These breakfast rolls are also completely customizable—swap in sausage for bacon, add herbs or spinach, and mix up your favorite cheeses and veggies to match your taste buds or whatever you have on hand.

Tips for Easy Prep and Flavorful Fillings

Success with this recipe is all about prepping your ingredients for even cooking and maximum taste. Use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to quickly dice onions, bell peppers, and any other veggies you want to include. Even-sized pieces cook evenly and blend seamlessly into the rolls.

If you want crisp bacon in every bite, chop your cooked strips using the KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath. And for perfectly even shredded cheese (or potatoes if you’re adding hashbrowns), the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper and Spiralizer comes in handy.

Sauté veggies in a nonstick skillet, like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, to avoid sticking and achieve the perfect tender-crisp texture.

Air Fryer or Oven: Bake Your Breakfast Rolls

While these rolls bake beautifully in the oven, try using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey for quicker results and perfectly crisped exteriors. For mess-free baking and easy clean-up, line your pan or air fryer basket with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll.

Serving and Storing Your Savory Breakfast Rolls

These breakfast rolls taste best warm from the oven, but they’re also ideal for meal prep. Pack leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep them fresh for up to three days—simply reheat as needed.

For a grab-and-go option, toss a warm roll into a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green along with a serving of sliced fruit for a balanced breakfast on your way out the door.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (or set your air fryer to 350°F). Line your baking sheet or air fryer basket with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup.
2. In a skillet, sauté the peppers, onions, and spinach over medium heat using the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch until softened, 3–4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble gently in the same skillet until just set (they’ll cook further in the oven).
4. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10×14-inch rectangle. Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables, scrambled eggs, bacon, and shredded cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
5. Working from the long side, gently roll up the dough into a log. Slice into 8 equal rounds.
6. Arrange rolls, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 15–20 minutes (oven) or 10–12 minutes (air fryer), until rolls are puffed and golden and the cheese is bubbling.
8. Cool slightly before serving. Garnish with optional fresh herbs, and enjoy!
