Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sausage or a meatless option for this recipe?
You can use your favorite cooked breakfast sausage patty for this recipe — simply follow the package directions to cook or heat up the meat, then layer it on your sandwich in place of (or in addition to!) bacon. For a meatless twist, saute fresh sliced mushrooms in a little butter, seasoning them with salt and pepper to taste.
Can I use a different kind of cheese?
Different types of cheeses, such as cheddar or mozzarella can be used, but they won’t melt as nicely as the American cheese. To melt other types of cheese, heat the bottom half of the rolls with the cheese on top in a toaster oven or microwave, just until the cheese melts.
What is the best way to cut the cinnamon rolls?
A serrated knife is the best choice for cutting the baked cinnamon rolls.
