Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 5 large eggs
- ½ medium red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ medium green bell pepper, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Bacon and Cheese
- 8 slices bacon, fried
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Dough and Garnish
- 8 ounce crescent rolls (refrigerated, 1 can)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crescent breakfast ring.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, beat the 5 eggs with the chopped red and green bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture in a skillet until the eggs are just scrambled and softly set. Drain bacon fat from the skillet before cooking the eggs if using the same pan.
- Assemble the Ring: Lay out the crescent roll dough on parchment paper in a star shape. Place a slice of fried bacon on each crescent triangle. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese around the ring on top of the crescents.
- Add Fillings: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly around the ring over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese for a cheesy finish.
- Fold Crescents: Carefully fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling to enclose it. Optionally, brush the dough with the beaten egg wash to achieve a golden, glossy finish during baking.
- Bake: Transfer the parchment paper with the assembled ring onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crescents are fully cooked through and golden brown on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm to enjoy the flakiest dough and melty cheese.
Notes
- Keep the crescent dough cold until ready to use for easier handling and better structure.
- Cook bacon and vegetables fully before assembling to prevent soggy dough.
- Scramble eggs gently until just set to avoid overcooking; they will finish in the oven.
- Customize with different cheeses or cooked fillings but avoid overloading to ensure even baking.
- You can assemble the ring the night before and refrigerate it; bake fresh in the morning for best results.
- Serve the crescent breakfast ring warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
