Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls) – These are the star of the show and save you a ton of prep time!

• 1 cup breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled – This savory ingredient gives the dish a hearty touch.
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – Because everything is better with cheese!
• 1/4 cup milk – This helps create a fluffy egg mixture.

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Platter

1. Preheat the oven according to the cinnamon roll package instructions.
2. Prepare the cinnamon rolls according to the package directions and place them on a baking sheet.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Stir in the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
6. Bake the cinnamon rolls and the egg mixture in the oven for the time specified on the cinnamon roll package, until the rolls are golden brown and the egg mixture is set.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
8. Serve the cinnamon rolls alongside the breakfast egg dish and fresh fruit.

Substitutions & Additions

• Swap the breakfast sausage for turkey sausage or even vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for a vegetarian option.
• Try different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for a twist on flavor.
• Add spices like paprika or black pepper to the egg mixture for an extra kick.
• Consider using flavored cinnamon rolls, like pumpkin spice, for seasonal fun!

Tips for Success

• Be careful not to overbake the egg mixture; it should be just set, so keep an eye on it!
• If you’re prepping ahead, you can cook the sausage and whisk the egg mixture the night before.
• Make sure to grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking.
• Feel free to experiment with different fruits or toppings for serving!

How to Store Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Platter

If you have leftovers (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should stay fresh for about 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up or in the oven for a few minutes to get that lovely crispy edge back.
