Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring
Description
This recipe transforms crescent roll dough into a ring stuffed with a flavorful scramble of eggs mixed with chopped red and green bell peppers, seasoned with salt and pepper. Crispy fried bacon slices and shredded cheddar cheese are layered on top of the arranged crescent dough segments before folding the dough over the filling, sealing it into a circular shape. An optional egg wash enhances the golden color and sheen of the baked ring.
Baking at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes cooks the dough through and melts the cheese, while the eggs inside remain soft and fluffy. The bell peppers provide bursts of sweetness and a slight crunch, balancing the smoky bacon. The finished ring is visually appealing and can be sliced and served warm.
The casserole works well for breakfasts where you want to serve multiple people and can be pre-assembled and refrigerated overnight for convenience. Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a touch of color and freshness.
Ingredients
- 5 egg
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- ½ green bell pepper chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 8 lices Bacon fried
- 8 ounce crescent rolls refrigerated, I used 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury crescents
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 egg for egg wash, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- In a bowl beat the eggs with the chopped peppers, salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a skillet so that they're scrambled. You can use the same skillet you used to fry the bacon, just drain the fat first.
- Lay out the crescent rolls on a parchment pepper, like a star as shown in the pictures above.
- On each crescent roll lay a piece of bacon. Add half of the cheese around the ring. Add the scrambled eggs around the ring and top with remainder of the cheese.
- Fold the crescents over. You may brush with the egg wash if you prefer, I did because it gives the ring a nice golden colour.
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the crescents are cooked and golden brown.
- Garnish with parsley, if preferred. Serve warm.
Notes
- This dish can be prepared the night before and kept refrigerated until baking.
- To make unrolling crescent dough easier, keep the tube refrigerated until you’re ready to use.
- Use a skillet drained of bacon fat to cook eggs for added flavor and easy cleanup.
