Canned crescent rolls are a phenomenal base for a delicious brunch main that's easy to make, serve, and share. The impressive crescent ring recipe below is stuffed full of phenomenal breakfast flavors. Scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheddar cheese unite to make this recipe a delicious, moreish treat.
The secret to success with this recipe is cooking the scramble and the bacon just enough so that they hold together while you assemble the ring, but not so much as to dry them out during the second bake. Cook the bacon until it is browned but still pliable so that it rolls into the ring easily, and cook the scramble until the eggs just form curds, and you'll be well on your way to success.

Brunch crescent ring

20 minutes
30 minutes
50 minutes
8 slices bacon
½ small red onion, brunoise
½ red bell pepper, brunoise
½ cup baby spinach, chopped
5 eggs
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until browned but not too crisp. Set aside.
Drain off all but 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat and discard. In the remaining bacon fat, fry the onion and bell pepper over medium heat until slightly browned, about five minutes. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about two minutes.
Scramble the eggs in a bowl and add to the skillet. Cook until just scrambled, then set aside.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Carefully separate each of the crescent triangles, and arrange them in a circle, with the wide edges in the middle, slightly overlapping. The dough should form an eight-pointed star. Press the overlapping dough so that it flattens and sticks together.
Lay a piece of bacon on each crescent roll. Sprinkle half the cheese over the center portion of the ring, where the dough is widest. Spoon the egg mixture evenly over the top, then top with the remaining cheese.
Fold the crescent tips towards the middle of the ring and tuck under so that they are secured.
Brush the ring with the beaten egg wash, and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
