Ingredients
- 1/2 package turkey bacon
- 8-10 eggs
- 2 packages crescent roll dough
- cheddar cheese to taste, shredded
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- butter to taste, melted
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until they are set and cooked through.
- Place the crescent roll triangles on an ungreased baking sheet so the wider end of the crescent is in the center, forming a circle with a 5-inch opening in the center and the smaller tip of the crescent is on the outside. The wider ends of the crescents will overlap.
- Use a dough roller to press down on the overlapped seams to seal them.
- Arrange the scrambled eggs onto the dough, then top with the bacon.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the bacon and season with the salt and the pepper.
- Fold up the dough triangles over the egg mixture and tuck the points into the dough on the other side.
- Use a basting brush to brush the melted butter onto the dough.
- Season the ring with the salt and the pepper.
- Bake the ring in the oven until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the ring from the oven and slice with a pizza cutter.
- Serve.
