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.
