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
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Total: 35 mins
Serves: 8
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.
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.

My husband loved this recipe. He said I could fix it again soon.
jess west says
I loved this so much! Finally found a new regular breakfast meal. Thanks!!
Jennifer Proffitt says
Didn’t look EXACTLY like the pic, but close enough! And it was great!!
Tessa says
Is there a substitute for parchment paper?
Jo Cooks Team says
You can use foil or spray the pan with oil.
Yvette Harper says
Easy and SO SO GOOD!
KP says
I’m no cook by any stretch of the imagination but I made this and got rave reviews. I added minced fresh veggies into the eggs (gotta hide those veggies from myself), a bunch of spices like roasted garlic, chipotle, etc… I made an avocado sour cream spiced sauce and topped with feta. I’m so proud of myself and thank you for an easy to follow recipe that made me look like a star!
Jo Cooks Team says
That’s wonderful to hear! We’re happy this was such a success. Sounds like a delicious sauce 🙂
Annie says
We don’t have that pastry im Australia. What is a good substitute? Puff or short crust pastry?
Jo Cooks Team 2 says
Either or! Puff pastry will work

Walt Caudle says
Jo, this sounds delicious. Do you think I could make this like a casserole in a 13×9 dish using one can of crescent rolls for the base and one can of crescents to cover it with?
jo says
That sounds like a great idea, I think it would work. Do let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Walt Caudle says
So I used one can of crescent dough for the base, layered and evened out the filling, added more cheese and added a can of crescent dough on top. It turned out great!
Leslie says
I made this for the first time tonight. For a breakfast baby shower. Made a couple changes. Only used scallion because that was what I had. Added a little garlic powder. Put cheese below eggs on eggs and on crescent dough used milk wash cause that is what I had. Will heat in foil packs n morning before I leave. Sure they will be a hit
Dielectra says
2nd year making this. Soo easy and looks festive too! Plus tastes great
Lori Padgett says
What a perfect breakfast recipe to try when my daughter & son-in-law come to visit.
Tausha says
Could you use biscuits instead of crescent rolls if you rolled them out like a crescent roll?
jo says
For sure.
Eth says
Is it possible to bake and then reheat? And at what temperature to reheat and for how long?
Jo Cooks Team says
I would prep the ring first, then bake it fully once I’m ready to serve. IF you want to reheat leftovers, you can microwave them or bake at 325F until heated through. Keep a close eye on it so that the dough doesn’t get too browned.
Laura says
Hi there
If I want to use egg whites for this recipe, how many do you suggest? Not sure if you’ve ever tried it that way! 🙂
jo says
I haven’t tried it just with egg whites but you can certainly do that, maybe egg whites from 8 eggs, should be more than enough.
Nancy says
Family favorite
Paula says
How many hours after baking does it become stale?
jo says
If you cover it up with plastic wrap or in an airtight container it won’t become stale and should last a couple days in the fridge. However, as any baked goods it’s best when fresh. You can also prepare it ahead, wrap it up and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
