Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 5 large eggs
- ½ medium red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ medium green bell pepper, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Other Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, fried and drained
- 8 ounce crescent rolls (refrigerated, 1 can)
- 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 combined.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: In a skillet (preferably the same one used for bacon after draining fat), cook the egg mixture until scrambled but still soft, avoiding overcooking.
- Lay Out Crescent Rolls: Spread out the crescent rolls on a parchment paper in a star shape as shown in the reference photos.
- Add Fillings: Place a slice of fried bacon on each crescent roll. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly around the ring, then add the scrambled eggs, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Fold Crescents: Carefully fold the crescent dough over the fillings to form a ring. Optionally, brush with the beaten egg wash to give the ring a nice golden brown color when baked.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Move the parchment paper with the arranged ring onto a large baking sheet for baking.
- Bake: 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 and serve the breakfast ring warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Keep the crescent dough cold until just before assembling for easier handling and better flakiness.
- Cook bacon and vegetables fully before assembling to prevent soggy dough.
- Scramble eggs only until soft and just set, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
- Customize the filling by swapping cheeses or adding cooked vegetables or meats, but keep fillings balanced for even baking.
- You can assemble the ring in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight; bake fresh in the morning.
- Serve warm to enjoy the flaky crescent dough and melty cheese at their best.
