Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.

2. Prepare the Scrambled Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, red bell pepper, milk, and black pepper. Scramble the eggs on the stovetop over medium heat, then set them aside to cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Crescent Dough: Open the two cans of crescent dough and unroll the sheets onto a flat surface. Pinch the two long edges of the dough sheets together to form one large rectangle.

4. Spread the Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the whipped chive and onion cream cheese over the dough.

5. Add the Filling: Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked turkey sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the dough.

6. Roll and Slice the Dough: Roll the dough tightly into a log, then use a serrated knife to cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices.

7. Bake: Place the rolls into the prepared baking pan, making sure they’re evenly spaced. Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

8. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy your savory breakfast rolls!
