Description
This Crescent Breakfast Ring is a warm, savory breakfast that looks impressive but is surprisingly easy to make. Flaky crescent dough is wrapped around eggs, cheese, and your choice of bacon or sausage, then baked until golden and sliceable. Perfect for weekend breakfasts, brunch, or special mornings when you want something cozy and crowd-pleasing.
Ingredients
-
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
6 large eggs
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled or 8 oz breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional additions:
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the eggs.
Lightly scramble the eggs in a skillet over medium-low heat just until barely set (soft and slightly glossy). Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat. -
Arrange the dough.
Unroll the crescent dough and arrange the triangles in a circle on the baking sheet, wide ends overlapping slightly in the center and points facing outward. Leave the center light and open. -
Assemble the ring.
Sprinkle half of the cheese over the dough, then spoon the eggs evenly around the ring. Add the cooked bacon or sausage, then top with the remaining cheese. -
Fold and seal.
Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling toward the center, tucking gently to seal without piling dough. -
Bake.
Bake for 22–28 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the center is fully set. -
Rest and serve.
Let the crescent breakfast ring rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
Par-scrambling the eggs helps prevent leaks and soggy dough.
-
Avoid overfilling the ring — less filling means cleaner slices.
-
Mozzarella + cheddar gives the best balance of melt and structure.
-
Letting the ring rest before slicing helps it hold its shape.
