Start your day with this impressive and delicious Crescent Roll Breakfast Ring. Perfect for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs, this recipe combines the flaky goodness of crescent rolls with savory breakfast ingredients for a meal that’s sure to please.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the crescent roll ring: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a star pattern on the prepared baking sheet, with the points facing outward and the bases overlapping in the center. Press the overlapping dough together to form a solid base.
3. Create the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Gently scramble the eggs until they’re just set but still slightly moist. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Assemble the filling: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the base of the crescent roll ring. Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese. Top with crumbled bacon, remaining cheese, and chopped chives.
6. Fold and seal: Carefully fold the points of the crescent roll triangles over the filling, tucking the ends under the center to create a ring. Make sure all seams are sealed to prevent leakage during baking.
7. Apply egg wash: Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the entire surface of the dough to ensure a golden, shiny finish.
8. Bake: Place the breakfast ring in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving platter, slice, and enjoy while warm!

Chef’s Tips:

• For a vegetarian version, substitute the bacon with sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers.
• Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss or Gruyère for unique flavor profiles.
• Add a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture for a spicy kick.
• Leftover breakfast ring can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes.
