Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rolls

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached as a sheet.
Place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until soft scrambled. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
Sprinkle the crumbled sausage or bacon evenly over the eggs.
Add a layer of shredded cheese.
Sprinkle green onions over the cheese, if using.
Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.

Step 4: Add the Glaze (Optional)

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, maple syrup, thyme, and garlic powder.
Brush the glaze evenly over the top of the rolls for extra flavor and a golden finish.

Step 5: Bake the Rolls

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Slice the rolls into individual servings.
Serve warm with a side of fruit, a cup of coffee, or fresh orange juice for a complete breakfast.

Notes

Prevent Soggy Rolls: Cook the eggs until just set to avoid excess moisture.
Customize the Filling: Swap out the sausage or bacon for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or diced bell peppers for a vegetarian option.
Cheese Variety: Try pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the rolls the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, bake as directed.
