My old breakfast cooking teacher always told me, "You need trusty recipes when mornings are crazy." After making these hundreds of times, I can't argue with that wisdom.

Round Out Your Breakfast

Pair with some fluffy scrambled eggs, cut-up fresh fruit, or a simple yogurt parfait. For fancy weekend brunches, try making several different filling combos.

Fun Twists To Try

Mix things up by switching to Swiss or mozzarella cheese, tucking in some scrambled egg bits, or mixing in diced peppers. If you like heat, grab some hot sausage and pepper jack cheese.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

Pop them in a sealed container in your fridge for up to three days. When you want one, warm it quickly in the oven to bring back the crispiness. Over all my years tweaking this recipe, I've learned these breakfast rolls hit that sweet spot between easy and impressive. When you pay attention to the little details, you'll end up with a morning treat that makes any day start right.
