Ingredients
- 9 ounces Mexican pork chorizo
- 10 eggs
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (recommend pepper jack)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Crumble the chorizo into a skillet and cook the chorizo over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs. Add eggs to cooked chorizo; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs are cooked thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Unroll can of dough; separate into 8 triangles. On a parchment sheet on a large cookie sheet or pizza stone, arrange triangles with shortest sides toward center, overlapping in wreath shape and leaving 4-inch round circle open in center. Crescent dough points may overlap edge of cookie sheet.
- Spoon mixture onto widest part of dough.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Pull end points of triangles over chorizo and egg mixture and cheese and tuck under dough to form ring (filling will be visible). Carefully brush dough with olive oil; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes. With broad spatula, carefully place wreath on serving platter and slide off parchment sheet from under.
- Slice in between each crescent to make 8 individual pieces. Serve warm with salsa.
Notes
- Keep the crescent dough refrigerated until you are ready to work with it. Chilled dough is much easier to work with than dough warmed to room temperature.
- If dough becomes too brown, cover outside edge with foil. Leave center uncovered so dough bakes thoroughly and is no longer doughy.
- Store leftovers in refrigerator.
