Crafting Your Savory Breakfast Masterpiece
Let's walk through the steps to create these incredible rolls. The process is straightforward and yields truly spectacular results.
Preparing the Rolls: A Savory Swirl
The secret to these rolls is layering flavor. We'll unroll our dough, spread our delectable fillings, and then roll it up tight before slicing. If you enjoy savory flavors for breakfast, you might also like our recipe for Spinach & Feta Patties!
Whipping Up the Béarnaise: A Touch of French Elegance
While the rolls bake, you'll create the warm, velvety Béarnaise. It's an emulsion, similar to Hollandaise, requiring careful whisking over gentle heat. Don't rush this step for the best results.
Baking & Serving: The Grand Finale
Once golden and puffed, your rolls are ready for their crowning glory – a generous drizzle of that homemade Béarnaise. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!
Serving Suggestions: What Pairs Well with Perfection?
These Savory Breakfast Rolls Drizzled With Béarnaise are fantastic on their own, but if you're looking to round out your meal, consider these delightful pairings:
- Fresh Fruit Salad: A simple bowl of seasonal berries, melon, and grapes provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the rolls. For another fruity side, try our Fresh & Creamy Apple Salad.
- Green Salad: A light, crisp salad with a vinaigrette dressing can cut through the richness beautifully.
- Coffee or Tea: Of course, no breakfast is complete without your favorite morning beverage!
- Mimosa or Bloody Mary: For a truly celebratory brunch, a classic brunch cocktail is a must.
Expert Tips for Success
- Temperature Control for Béarnaise: When making the Béarnaise, use a double boiler (bain-marie) and ensure the bowl doesn't touch the simmering water. The goal is gentle heat to thicken, not to scramble the eggs.
- Quality Ingredients: Fresh tarragon is non-negotiable for authentic Béarnaise flavor.
- Sharp Knife for Slicing: A good Quality Chef's Knife will make quick work of slicing your rolled dough into neat, even rolls.
- Keep Béarnaise Warm: Béarnaise is best served warm. If it cools too much, you can gently reheat it over a double boiler, whisking constantly, but avoid high heat.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to experiment! Consider sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or different cheeses like Gruyère or smoked gouda.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of dough for the breakfast rolls?
Yes, absolutely! While refrigerated pizza dough works wonderfully, you can also use crescent roll dough, puff pastry, or even a homemade brioche dough for a richer flavor. Adjust baking times as needed based on the dough type.
What are some alternative fillings for the savory breakfast rolls?
The filling possibilities are endless! Try sautu00e9ed mushrooms and spinach, ham and Swiss cheese, roasted red peppers and goat cheese, or a vegetarian mix of crumbled veggie sausage and peppers. Feel free to customize with your favorite breakfast ingredients.
Is Bu00e9arnaise sauce difficult to make from scratch?
Bu00e9arnaise sauce, a classic French emulsion, might seem intimidating, but it's surprisingly straightforward with a few key tips. The most crucial part is to maintain a gentle heat and whisk continuously when adding the melted butter to the egg yolks to prevent scrambling and ensure a smooth, creamy texture. The video tutorial included in this post can guide you!
Can I prepare these savory breakfast rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls up to the slicing stage and store them covered in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, simply arrange them on a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if baking from cold. The Bu00e9arnaise sauce is best made fresh right before serving.
Savory Breakfast Rolls Drizzled With Béarnaise
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 8-10 rolls 1x
- Diet: Omnivore
Description
Fluffy, savory breakfast rolls filled with bacon, sausage, and cheese, baked to golden perfection, then topped with a rich, homemade Béarnaise sauce.
Ingredients
1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 oz breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs, scrambled and lightly cooked
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and warm
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp finely minced shallot
1 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Carefully unroll the dough onto a lightly floured surface or directly onto the parchment paper. Gently stretch it into a rectangle, approximately 10x14 inches.
Step 3: Evenly scatter the crumbled cooked bacon, crumbled cooked sausage, lightly cooked scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh chives (if using) over the entire surface of the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border on one of the long edges.
Step 4: Starting from the long edge opposite the clear border, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam gently to seal it completely.
Step 5: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 8-10 equal-sized rolls, each approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
Step 6: Arrange the sliced rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each roll.
Step 7: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
Step 8: While the rolls are baking, prepare the Béarnaise sauce. In a heatproof bowl (preferably glass or stainless steel) set over a saucepan of simmering water (creating a double boiler or bain-marie), whisk the egg yolks with the white wine vinegar and minced shallot. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the simmering water.
Step 9: Slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter, about a tablespoon at a time, while continuously whisking vigorously. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency. If it gets too thick, you can whisk in a teaspoon of warm water.
Step 10: Remove the bowl from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh tarragon and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if using). Season the Béarnaise sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Keep warm by resting the bowl over the warm (but not simmering) water.
Step 11: Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven. Drizzle them generously with the warm Béarnaise sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients, especially for the tarragon in the Béarnaise sauce. The sauce can be made a few minutes ahead and kept warm over a very low heat or off the heat over the residual warmth of the double boiler. If using homemade dough, adjust cook times accordingly.
