Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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)
- 8 slices bacon (fried)
- 8 ounce crescent rolls (refrigerated, 1 can Pillsbury crescents)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ to prepare for baking the breakfast ring.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat 5 eggs with chopped red and green bell peppers, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a skillet (preferably the same one used for frying bacon after draining the fat) and scramble the eggs just until they are set but still soft. Remove from heat.
- Arrange Crescents: Lay out the crescent rolls on a piece of parchment paper in a star shape as shown in reference images.
- Add Fillings: Place one slice of fried bacon on each crescent section. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly around the ring, then add the scrambled eggs on top. Finish by topping with the remaining cheese.
- Fold Crescents: Fold the crescent dough sections over the fillings towards the center to enclose them. If desired, brush the ring with a beaten egg wash for a golden color.
- Bake: Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the ring onto a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crescent dough is cooked through and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the breakfast ring warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Keep the crescent dough cold until assembly to make it easier to unroll and shape.
- Cook bacon and vegetables fully beforehand to prevent sogginess in the dough.
- Scramble eggs gently and avoid overcooking since they will finish cooking in the oven.
- You can customize the filling with different cheeses or cooked vegetables and meats, but avoid overloading the ring to ensure even baking.
- The ring can be assembled ahead of time, tightly covered, and refrigerated overnight; then baked fresh in the morning.
- Serve warm to enjoy the flaky crescent dough and melted cheese at their best.
