Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is the first step towards creating these delightful breakfast rolls. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
If you’re missing an ingredient or two, don’t worry. You can substitute the cheddar cheese with any melty cheese you have on hand, like mozzarella or Monterey Jack. And if you’re out of buttermilk, simply mix 3/4 cup of regular milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring these delicious rolls to life:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Remove from the pan and drain excess fat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk until just combined, then turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and sprinkle with cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log and cut into 12 even slices. Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
A little tip from my kitchen: Use a serrated knife to cut the rolls—it helps maintain their shape beautifully.
