FAQs
Can I use regular sausage instead of turkey sausage?
Yes, you can! Just note that regular sausage is fattier, so you may want to drain the excess grease to avoid greasy rolls.
Can I make these breakfast rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the rolls the night before and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, simply bake them. You can also freeze the unbaked rolls and bake them straight from the freezer.
Can I use other types of cheese?
Absolutely! Try mozzarella, pepper jack, gouda, or a blend of cheeses for a different flavor.
Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Yes, you can add spinach, bell peppers, onions, or any other veggies you like to customize your rolls.
Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Yes, egg whites will work well as a lighter option, but they may result in a slightly less creamy texture.
How do I store leftover rolls?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Can I freeze the assembled rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the rolls before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
How long should I bake the rolls?
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed up.
Can I use a different type of dough?
Yes, you can substitute crescent dough with puff pastry or biscuit dough for a different texture.
