Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Bites
Ingredients
  • 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (17.5 ounce) can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing (such as Pillsbury® Grands!®)
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 5 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
Instructions
1
Begin by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches an even brown color, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
2
Next, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Take a moment to grease a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring it is properly coated.
3
Now, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully pour in the eggs, stirring frequently with a spatula until they reach a soft and fluffy consistency, taking around 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked eggs to a plate to cool down, then season with salt and pepper.
4
Take the cinnamon rolls out of their packaging and flatten each one by standing it on its side and pressing down into a rectangular shape, trapping the cinnamon sugar layers inside. Roll each rectangle into a thin 6-inch circle.
5
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese over each dough circle. Layer 1/4 cup of scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon of cooked bacon pieces on top. Fold the dough up and over the filling, pinching the edges together to enclose it completely.
6
Place the rolled cinnamon rolls seam-side down in the prepared pie plate.
7
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until it is melted, taking about 10 seconds. Brush the melted butter over the rolls and season with salt and pepper.
8
Finally, bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven, rotating the pie plate halfway through, until they reach a deep golden brown color, approximately 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer the pie plate to a wire rack and let the rolls cool for 15 minutes before serving
