Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives us the energy for the whole day. It’s easy always to have it when you small and someone else is preparing it for you, but as we grew eating early in the mornings before we go to work or do other responsibilities, it can be hard to have a decent, homemade breakfast.
But, for those times when you actually can prepare something at home, either during workdays or weekends, consider baking some crescent roll-ups. The warm crescent is perfect for cold, winter days, and you can experiment with other ingredients, such as bacon, chicken, and cheese. Scroll below to find out which ten recipes we picked for you!
1. Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups
Ham and cheese crescent roll-ups are perfect for dinner, and if there are any leftovers at all, these crescents will be great for breakfast too. However, to taste the beauty of melted cheese, it’s best to eat them warm! To prepare these roll-ups, you need 1 can (8 crescents), store-bought or homemade crescent, 8 thin slices of cooked ham (8 oz), and 4 thin slices of Cheddar cheese (4 oz), each cut into 4 strips.

3. Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Roll-ups

The hot dog crescent roll-ups are a popular choice when it comes to movie nights as well.

These are ready in less than 20 minutes, and you’ll have around 16 roll-ups. You can serve them with ketchup and mustard or with any sauce that you would like.
6. Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescents
Again we have chicken roll-ups, but this time in combination with bacon and mozzarella. This is ideal for anyone who enjoys all these ingredients in one meal, and we can’t blame them – who can resist warm crescent roll-ups with melted mozzarella and meat? You need 2 (8 ounces) cans of store-bought or homemade crescent rolls, 16 thin slices of chicken ( I used deli-sliced chicken) or 1 small chicken breast, 16 slices cooked bacon, 8 pieces mozzarella string cheese, and 1/2 cup prepared ranch dressing.
7. Buttery No-Knead Crescent Rolls

If you’re feeling over pizza for the day, try these roll-ups. They have the pepperoni’s charm and the melted cheese, being packed in a small dough roll-up.

For the garlic butter glaze: 2 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon Italian seasonings, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Bacon & Pepper-Jack Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Bacon is one of the most popular breakfast choices, especially among American families.

Spinach is one of the healthiest foods you can eat – it is rich in iron, protein, calcium, fiber, and many vitamins! Of course, it is better to eat it as raw as possible, but having it in a roll-up isn’t a bad idea at all. For that, you need 2 tubes of store-bought or homemade crescent rolls (8 ct. each), 4 oz. crumbled feta cheese, 4 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese or any cheese you like, 3 oz. fresh baby spinach, 1 egg white, 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes and a dash of salt and pepper.
