Ingredients
- Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough: 2 cans
- Large Eggs: 6

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until light and airy. Pour into a nonstick skillet and scramble over medium-low heat until just set but still a little wet; set aside.
- Open crescent dough cans and separate triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with wide ends overlapping in the center (about 5 inches across) and pointed tips facing outward.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the overlapping dough. Spoon the soft-scrambled eggs evenly in a ring over the cheese, followed by the crumbled bacon, and finally, the rest of the cheese.
- Take the pointed end of each crescent triangle and fold it up and over the filling. Tuck the point underneath the wide end of the base to secure it, forming an enclosed ring.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is deep golden-brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley, slicing, and serving warm.
Notes
For a glossy, golden-brown crust, whisk one large egg with a tablespoon of water for an egg wash and brush it over the dough before baking. Customize the filling with different meats (sausage, ham, chorizo), vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms), or cheeses (pepper jack, Monterey Jack, Swiss). Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or in an air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes.
