Savory Rolls go savory with sausage, Cheddar, and a red pepper dipping sauce. The aroma of freshly baked rolls on a weekend morning is just the thing to rouse a house from slumber. It gets me up lickety split! But whenever I start my day with a buttery cinnamon roll or sticky bun (or two or three), I’m both overly full and oddly hungry about an hour later.

So I took the beloved concept of fresh rolls in the morning and made it savory. The results are lovely and think you will love these, too. Savory Rolls They’re filling without loading you with empty carbs. Better yet, you use frozen dinner roll dough, so they’re easy to put together. A bright red roasted pepper sauce on the side offsets the richness of the rolls. Serve them with scrambled eggs for an elegant breakfast, or deviled eggs for a charming luncheon.
