- Breakfast sausages, cooked and diced

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes until it becomes bubbly.
Add oil, salt, and 2½ cups of flour. Mix until the dough begins to pull away from the sides. Gradually add more flour until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 15 minutes.
2. Prep the Filling
Scramble the eggs and cook the bacon and sausage. Chop the bacon and dice the sausage into small pieces.
3. Assemble the Rolls
Roll out the dough on a lightly greased countertop into a large rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
Brush with melted butter, then evenly spread the scrambled eggs, shredded cheese (reserving ½ cup), bacon, and sausage.
Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other. Pinch the seam to seal.
Slice the roll into 1½-inch sections to create about 15 rolls.
4. Bake
Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-14 minutes.
Top with the remaining cheese and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the rolls are golden brown.
Brush with melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
