Morning meetings or breakfast buffets are the perfect occasions to serve a breakfast crescent ring. Switch up the ingredients and make a new dish every time, or serve it as an appetizer on game night!

Ingredients and Variations

DOUGH: Crescent roll dough produces those perfect triangles ready to be filled and rolled up. However, in a pinch, biscuit dough, breadstick dough, even pizza dough can be rolled out thin and cut into triangles with a pizza cutter.

CHEESE: Herb and garlic cream cheese adds a savory flavor to this breakfast ring, but plain cream cheese will work, too. For a super savory option, mix in some homemade Olive Garden Salad Dressing, or your favorite taco or chili seasoning. Shredded cheddar delivers a sharp, robust flavor, but Monterey Jack, Swiss cheese, and Gruyere will add new flavors, too!

BACON: It’s hard to switch out the bacon for anything, but ground pork sausage, Shredded Chicken, or turkey are a good way to use up leftovers.

How to Make A Crescent Ring

This fun to make dish is sure to be enjoyed, and it’s easy to make, too:

Cook whipped and seasoned eggs in a pan until they are barely set (egg will be glossy).
Roll out crescent rolls in a sunshine shape (as per the recipe below).
Spread cream cheese along the wide edges of the ring and top with eggs, cheese, & bacon.
Starting at the tips, roll up each crescent. Sprinkle with extra cheese & bacon. Bake until the crescent is browned and cooked through.

Serving Suggestions

As a breakfast, brunch, or snack, this cheese and bacon crescent roll goes with so many delicious sides! Try a Ham & Cheese Crescent Bake, Fruit & Cream Crescents, or this delicious Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole

Tips for Success!

Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before adding any herbs or seasonings to it or before spreading it on the dough. And prepare breakfast crescent roll in advance, cover in plastic wrap, and keep chilled until ready to add toppings and bake.

Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator and serve cold. Or simply reheat individual portions in the microwave. Cooled portions can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and kept in a zippered bag in the freezer for up to 4 weeks. What a great way to keep a quick breakfast at the ready for busy mornings.
