Instructions
 

Make the Dough (Skip if using store-bought):

Cook the Filling:

Assemble the Rolls:

  • Roll out dough (or store-bought dough) into a rectangle (about 12"x18"). Evenly spread scrambled eggs, meat, cheese, and optional veggies. Roll up tightly from the long side and slice into 12 rolls.

Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with seasoning (if using). Bake for 20ā€“25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve:

Notes
