These delightful rolls combine the best of breakfast and pizza into one delicious package. When I first experimented with this recipe, it was a hit with my family. The idea of rolling up fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and gooey cheese in warm pizza dough is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. Not only are they a treat for breakfast, but they also make fantastic snacks or lunchbox additions. As I watched my family devour these rolls, I knew I had stumbled upon a gem that would be a staple in our home.

What Goes Into Breakfast Pizza Rolls

The ingredients for these Breakfast Pizza Rolls are a beautiful blend of flavors that work together harmoniously. Each component brings its unique touch to the dish, resulting in a delightful breakfast experience. The key players include fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and rich cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a light pizza dough. This combination not only creates a satisfying meal but also pleases the taste buds.

• 4 eggs (lightly beaten) – Eggs provide the essential protein and fluffiness that transforms these rolls into a hearty meal.
• 8 ounces fully cooked breakfast sausage (diced) – This adds a savory depth of flavor, making every bite delightful.
• 13-16 ounces pizza dough (at room temperature) – The base of our rolls, offering a soft and chewy texture.
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese – Cheese binds the filling together, adding creaminess and richness.
• 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes or minced baby spinach (optional) – These veggies add freshness and color, elevating the dish.

How to Prepare Breakfast Pizza Rolls

Making Breakfast Pizza Rolls is a fun and enjoyable process. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a delicious, homemade breakfast ready to serve! Let’s dive into the delightful steps of their preparation.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin generously, ensuring to cover the top of each cup well since the cheese may spill over while baking.
2. Warm a medium nonstick skillet over low heat. Add a bit of butter to the pan. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a fork. Pour the eggs into the heated skillet, stirring often. As they cook, gently move the cooked eggs out of the way, allowing the uncooked portions to flow to the hot surface. Continue until the eggs are fluffy and fully cooked through.
3. In another pan, cook the sausage according to package directions until it’s golden and heated through.
4. Grab your pizza dough and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Use your hands to stretch the dough into an 11 by 16-inch rectangle, making sure it doesn’t stick to the counter. If the dough is tough to stretch, let it rest for 5 minutes to relax the gluten.
5. Spread the cooked eggs and diced sausage evenly across the pizza dough. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously over the top. If you’re adding tomatoes or spinach, now’s the time!
6. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough up, enclosing the filling tightly. It might get a bit messy, but that’s part of the fun! Use the parchment paper to help guide and shape the roll.
7. Once rolled, use a serrated knife to slice the roll into 12 even pieces. Place each slice into the prepared muffin tin cups.
8. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 22 to 26 minutes. They should be golden on top, with the cheese melted and bubbling.
9. Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for 3 to 5 minutes. This helps the cheese firm up slightly and makes them easier to transfer. To serve, gently use a knife around the edges if needed, then lift them out onto a wire rack or plate.

Tips for Success

Creating the perfect Breakfast Pizza Rolls is all about attention to detail. Here are some tips to ensure your rolls turn out fantastic:

• Storage: Store the rolls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week for best freshness.
• Freezing: These rolls can be frozen for up to 6 months. Once cooled, place them in a freezer bag, remove air, and seal.
• Reheating: To reheat frozen rolls, place a single roll on a heat-safe plate and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until heated through.
• Grease Well: Using enough grease on your muffin pan is crucial. This prevents the rolls from sticking and ensures a perfect release.
• Homemade Dough: If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own pizza dough! It’s quite simple and adds a personal touch.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve these rolls with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.

Best Served With

• Fresh Fruit: A side of mixed berries or sliced melons complements the savory flavors beautifully.
• Salad: Serve with a light garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
• Yogurt: A bowl of plain or flavored yogurt can add a creamy, tangy element to your meal.
• Juice or Coffee: Pair with orange juice or your favorite coffee for a complete breakfast experience.
• Picnics or Brunch: These rolls are perfect for picnics, brunch gatherings, or even as a grab-and-go snack during busy weekdays.
• Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be enjoyed cold or reheated!

Equipment

• Parchment Paper
• Muffin Tin
• Storage Containers

Ingredients

  

• 4 eggs Eggs Lightly beaten
• 8 ounces Fully cooked breakfast sausage Diced
• 13-16 ounces Pizza dough At room temperature
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Sliced cherry tomatoes or minced baby spinach (optional)

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease a muffin tin very well, including around the top of each cup since the cheese may spill out a little.
• Warm a medium nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the butter. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork. Pour the eggs into the heated pan and stir often, moving the cooked eggs out of the way so the uncooked egg can cook, until the mixture is fully cooked through into fluffy scrambled eggs.
• Cook the sausage according to package directions.
• Use your hands to stretch the dough into an 11×16-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. This helps prevent the dough from sticking to the counter. If it's hard to stretch, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again. Sometimes the gluten needs to rest.
• Spread the cooked eggs and diced sausage over the pizza dough. Add the cheese. Add veggies, if using.
• Starting on one long side, roll the dough up carefully and fairly tightly to enclose the toppings. It might be a little messy, but it's okay! Use the parchment paper to help you roll.
• Use a serrated knife to cut into 12 even slices.
• Place each slice into a prepared muffin cup and bake for 22-26 minutes until the dough is baked through, the cheese is melted, and the tops are golden.
• Let cool for 3-5 minutes in the pan to allow the cheese to firm up slightly, then transfer to a wire rack or a plate to serve. You may need to use a knife around the edges of the pan if the cheese spilled over.

Notes

• Storage: Store the Breakfast Pizza Rolls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week. Let cool on a wire rack fully, then transfer to a freezer bag and remove the air and seal.
• Freezing: You can then freeze for up to 6 months. To warm through, place a frozen Breakfast Pizza Roll on a heat-safe plate and warm in 30 second increments in the microwave. Or cook for about 4-6 minutes at 350 degrees F in an air fryer.
• Grease Well: Be sure to grease your muffin pan very well to reduce the chance that the rolls will stick to the pan. Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes after they come out of the oven, then use a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Transfer to a wire rack to cool or serve warm.
• Homemade Dough: Use a fresh ball of store-bought pizza dough or make your own.
