Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Other Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, fried
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Wash (optional)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Egg Mixture: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the chopped red and green bell peppers, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Scramble Eggs: Scramble the egg mixture gently in the bowl until slightly set and then set aside. This prepares the filling for the ring.
- Arrange Crescent Rolls: On a sheet of parchment paper, lay out the refrigerated crescent rolls with the short ends overlapping and the triangle tips pointing outward, forming a star shape.
- Add Bacon: Place one slice of fried bacon on top of each crescent roll triangle evenly around the ring.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly around the base of the ring on top of the bacon.
- Add Scrambled Eggs and More Cheese: Spoon the scrambled egg mixture evenly around the base of the ring, then top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Fold Crescent Dough: Carefully fold the crescent roll dough triangles inward over the eggs to encase the filling, tucking the ends under the center to form a closed ring.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and two tablespoons of water. Brush this egg wash evenly over the crescent dough to help it brown beautifully in the oven.
- Bake: Bake the assembled breakfast crescent ring in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are fully cooked, puffed, and golden brown on top.
Notes
- Serves 12 people, making it ideal for brunch gatherings or family breakfasts.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture.
- Ensure the crescent dough overlaps slightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use refrigerated crescent rolls to save time but feel free to try homemade dough for a different texture.
- Egg wash is optional but recommended for a glossy, golden crust.
