This beautiful Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring will be everyone’s weekend breakfast of choice, it’s loaded with bacon, eggs and cheese. Perfect for brunch as well.
I don’t know about you but I love weekend breakfasts. I love weekends, but that’s the subject of another discussion. But I try to make a nice and special breakfast every Sunday morning that both hubs and I enjoy.
So when I looked in the fridge and saw this lonely can of Pillsbury crescent rolls, I knew I had to use it to make something delicious with it. This gorgeous breakfast ring came to mind and of course I always have bacon on hand, so I decided to make it with bacon. Did I tell you bacon is one of my favourite foods? I’m sure I did at some point in time.
HOW TO MAKE CRESCENT BACON BREAKFAST RING
I love Pillsbury crescents, they’re so versatile and I make all kinds of things with them. Of course you could also make your own dough for this breakfast, but why slave in the kitchen when you don’t have to.
So this is such a quick breakfast and so delicious, you could literally use any ingredients. Perfect Sunday breakfast.
This breakfast ring is also perfect for brunch such as Easter brunch because it really is simple to make, hardest thing you have to do is fry some bacon and scramble the eggs.
WHAT INGREDIENTS CAN YOU USE
Anything goes. Whatever you like for breakfast you can use here. Eggs, bacon, peppers, mushrooms, hash browns, ham, cheese, spinach, artichokes, asparagus. Use your favorite ingredients.
If using mushrooms, make sure you cook them first, so they don’t get watery and turn your crescent into a soggy mess.
CAN YOU MAKE THIS CRESCENT BACON BREAKFAST RING AHEAD?
You can absolutely make this the day before and then refrigerated until ready to bake.

Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
- 8 slices bacon fried
- 8 oz crescent rolls refrigerated, I used 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury crescents
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 egg for egg wash, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
- In a bowl beat the eggs with the chopped peppers, salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a skillet so that they're scrambled. You can use the same skillet you used to fry the bacon, just drain the fat first.
- Lay out the crescent rolls on a parchment pepper, like a star as shown in the pictures above.
- On each crescent roll lay a piece of bacon. Add half of the cheese around the ring. Add the scrambled eggs around the ring and top with remainder of the cheese.
- Fold the crescents over. You may brush with the egg wash if you prefer, I did because it gives the ring a nice golden colour.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the crescents are cooked and golden brown.
- Garnish with parsley, if preferred. Serve warm.

Notes
- Make ahead: This can be prepared the night before and refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Note: To make it easier to unroll the crescent rolls, do not take the tube out of the fridge until ready to use.
- Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

So easy, so delicious. Can use a myriad of ingredients and I was shocked that with all the cooking I do my family said this was the best dish I have ever made! Thanks for the idea!!
This Crescent bacon breakfast ring has really intrigued me, but I haven’t made it yet! Can you use Puff Pastry instead of the Crescent Rolls, as we don’t appear to sell them in NZ!
Yeah, give puff pastry a try! I think that would be delicious 🙂
Made this for New Year’s Day brunch & it was great. Served it with fresh fruit & coffee. Great start to 2019.
That sounds so lovely, happy new year!
Made a vegetarian version with diced potatoes, onion, peppers, mushroom, soy chorizo, eggs and cheese. Very tasty.
I love this recipe. I’ve been making it a couple of years now. I use whatever I have on-hand. I’ve even made some for a large party. You can use different themes like Mexican, Italian, German. I tried to make it Asian… still needs help.
Yes you can really customize this to make it how you like! We’re happy to hear you love the recipe 🙂
My 16YO son is going to go crazy for this! He loves crescent rolls and has been so bored with breakfast choices lately! I saw someone below commented that it turned out smaller than anticipated; I was actually trying to figure out how to make it smaller, so maybe I’ll just try to make 1/2 one or something. Thanks!
I made this Thanksgiving morning. It was much smaller than your photo. Looked nice, but small. Not sure what I did wrong?
Watch the video on how we assembled it and you might see what went wrong there. You could’ve also used a different brand of crescents that are smaller than what we used.
I used the same Pillsbury crescent rolls you did. I watched the video as well. It was delicious.
Made it this Thanksgiving morning. Quick, easy, and a filling breakfast to push us past noon for the 4 o’clock turkey. Half of us liked it with salsa and I’m definitely throwing onions in next time. Thank you!
Want to make this for Thanksgiving week. I need to make ahead so we can pop it in the oven for breakfast. What temperature would you recommend for reheating and how long?
If you make it ahead I would just prepare the entire ring without cooking it, and then bake it for 375F, 20 mins to serve.
This was very good for a Sunday morning brunch, my husband liked it and it is a make again recipe. I used crumbled Hormel real bacon bits instead of bacon strips.
So nothing funky will happen if I assemble tonight and bake in the morning? I guess I always thought crescent rolls had to go straight from can to oven or they don’t work lol
Just cover it well in the refrigerator
and it will work out just fine!
Made with breakfast sausage and it was awesome!
Can this recipe be baked on Thursday evening and reheated for Saturday breakfast? Thinking of bringing camping.
For sure! I’m not sue what you’re using to reheat while camping but it may not come out as crisp without an oven to reheat.
