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.
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’s your idea for a perfect weekend breakfast?

- 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
- 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.

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.

What other pastry can you use as we don’t have Pilsbury in South Africa
It doesn’t have to be Pillsbury brand- any frozen crescent dough will work.
♡♡♡THIS Star!!!!
Having diabetes this is very good ! Thank u for sharing!
This recipe looks soooo very delish. I can’t wait to make this for my family. They will absolutely love it.
Just tried it with honey butter crescent rolls and it was excellent will eat again😀
Great idea! I’m glad you loved it 🙂
Lovely recipe done for Christmas Day! Very easy and extra tasty! Thank you
I made this, this morning for our Easter breakfast, delicious!!
I made this for an Easter Brunch today and it was VERY well received! Mine wasn’t as pretty as the one on the site here (sorry, I didn’t take a picture) however, it didn’t look too bad. I ALWAYS stay true to the recipe when it’s the first time making it, however, I made a few changes to this one as I went while tasting. 5 eggs and the two half peppers resulted, in my opinion, eggs that were overpowered by the pepper taste. That’s an easy fix, I ended up scrambling up 5 more eggs combining them with the egg/pepper mixture. I had also added a couple green onions in with the peppers. I baked 1.5 pounds of bacon even though the recipe calls for 8 slices. I figured I’d use the rest of the bacon for something, somewhere, which is NEVER a problem! I chopped up 5 slices of the extra bacon and tossed it in the with the egg/pepper mixture and then after tasting it, I added some freshly shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese in with it all. Upon tasting the mixture, I finally found the combination of tastes and textures I was looking for, Yum! I did brush the crescent rolls with an egg wash before baking and one last modification I made was to sprinkle some of Trader Joe’s “Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend” over the egg washed crescents rolls. I know, I didn’t stay very true to the recipe but I was tasting every step of the way and it came out very, very good. My mother-in-law even said this recipe was a “keeper” and should be brought to the next family function! Thanks for giving us a recipe that is so versatile.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this. My family doesn’t like red and/or green peppers so I substituted them with 1/2 cup of diced onions and 1/2 cup diced tomato. I made it the night before and baked it for Easter breakfast. Will definitely make it again. Thank you, Jo.
What can I use instead of crescent roll in Australia?
Not sure what’s available in Australia, but you could make your own using my recipe for dinner crescents: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/best-ever-dinner-crescents/
I used deli sliced ham as an attempt at making it a little leaner… and mozzarella cheese. We loved it! Will definitely be making it again. Thanks!
Sliced ham is a great idea, even turkey bacon would be great for a leaner version.
Made this for the whole family! Substituted pre cooked sausage (since i had it on hand) and they loved it! Will make again! Thanks!
We love weekend breakfasts at our house. This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. After one bite my wife declared it her new favorite breakfast.
Question is the bacon partially cooked or raw?
The bacon is completely cooked.
Great recipe! I add my own extras and cheese, but this is a great base to start with.
Very beautiful meal! I impressed everyone! I made it almost twice as large, but followed the recipe for the most part. I love that things can be substituted without ruining it. Definitely trying again!
Can you make this breakfast wreath the night before??
Yes, I make the ring the night before making sure I remove it from the refrig at least 15 minutes to warm the dish up before I bake it. Carol
I’ve made this many times. My kids grew up on it and they are 40 and 36 but I sued sausage instead of bacon. Love it. Still make for special occasions.
It was delicious… just made a few changes instead of peppers i used onions and spinach. Great meal family loved it!
I made this for a quick brunch items for picky eaters. It was a total hit!
Made a couple this morning for our Lake family. They loved it!!! Super easy and cooked them on grill.
