Like you, I’m always looking for fresh ways to serve the classic flavors my family loves. While breakfast foods are always a favorite, we tend to enjoy them most for brunch or even dinner rather than on hectic school mornings. With busy schedules, quick grab-and-go options usually win out during the week. That’s why recipes like this are ideal for relaxed weekend mornings or any time you can slow down and enjoy a leisurely meal. These pull apart rolls are filled with a beloved breakfast combination of savory sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melty cheese, making them both comforting and crowd-pleasing.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

  • Dinner Rolls – I used a package of round parker house dinner rolls for this recipe. You can also use a package of rectangle rolls like Hawaiian rolls, brioche rolls or slider rolls.
  • Cheese – You can use mild cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, pepper jack cheese or colby jack cheese.
  • Protein – You could replace the sausage with ham or crispy bacon. You could also use turkey sausage in place of breakfast sausage.
  • Fresh Herbs – You can use parsley or finely chopped green onions in the scrambled eggs.
  • Serving – The parker house rolls used in this recipe are already divided into portions, making dividing them foolproof. To serve, slide carefully onto a serving platter, then take a sharp knife and cut along the perforations so that they pull apart easily. The presentation is so pretty when served on a cake pedastal or festive platter and so easy to make.

Storage and Leftovers

  • Make-Ahead Tips – You can fully assemble the rolls the night before you plan to serve them, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge. When doing so, you should wait and brush with melted butter just before baking.
  • Baking – Baking these rolls after chilling will call for increasing the baking time 5-10 minutes. Watch carefully for over browning and check at the 20 minutes and place aluminum foil on top if needed.
  • Leftovers – Store baked Sausage Egg and Cheese Rolls wrapped in aluminum foil chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating – Reheat in single serving gently in the microwave.
  • Freezer – You can freeze leftovers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat just before serving.

  1. 5 stars
    I haven’t tried these yet. But they look and sound delicious. I was wandering if you could use like the Hawaiian Sweet Rolls? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Have a wonderful weekend

  2. My family LOVES these breakfast rolls, but we find 8 eggs to be a bit too much — it’s hard to get them all to stay on the bread. Six suffices for us. If I’m making them ahead of time (which is almost always), I return the rolls to the aluminum pan /slide the pan back into the plastic bag for overnight storage. They cook up great the next morning.

  3. Hi Melissa. Just checking to be sure I understand correctly – the pull apart sausage and egg rolls – can you make them ahead of time (the night before) fully assembled with the egg, sausage, cheese, wrapped up in the fridge all night and then baked in the morning after brushing with butter and garlic salt? The eggs will be okay texture wise?

      1. Thank you for your quick response. I’m more curious if you used the YEAST dinner rolls or FLOUR or. ???

    1. I have 11oz of the rolls, but there’s only 8 rolls. The picture shows more than that, and the serving size says 16. Am I doing something wrong?

  4. I really like the idea of these because my family mostly doesn’t eat breakfast, only if it’s late. These would be perfect, but we aren’t really sausage fans, do you think it would still work with bacon or ham

  5. Melissa – I made these a few months ago for a Sunday School breakfast and they were a hit but very hard for me to assemble. I am wanting to do it again but mix in the cooked sausage while the scrambled eggs are cooking and trying to keep it in one piece. Do you think this would work? Also was thinking of returning it to the foil pan to bake. I’m thinking it won’t fall apart in the oven. thoughts??

    1. Hi Susan, I’ve never thought of these as hard to assemble. You might need to use sliced cheese. Arrange 5 on the bottom piece, top with eggs and sausage then 5 slices cheese on top letting it overhang the filling a little. As the cheese melts it should hold them together for you. I think it might be difficult to get them back into the pan unless you assemble them in the pan.

    1. Yes, they are available here in the US. If you live outside of the US I’m not certain what to recommend.

    1. I think maybe you aren’t familiar with these rolls? They aren’t dough like pizza dough they are already formed into a round with perforations. I let them thaw a bit to make it easier to cut. Place one hand on top to steady, then cut carefully through the middle with a serrated knife. I make these all the time it works.

  6. Are the frozen rolls pre-baked? I make my own hot rolls, and was trying to figure out how to make this without buying the rolls. This looks so yummy, and so pretty!
