Crescent Breakfast Sandwiches

Crescent Breakfast Sandwiches

1 can (12 oz) Pillsbury Big & Flaky refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 eggs, scrambled, cooked
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 egg, beaten (optional)
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper (optional)
  1. Heat oven to 350F. Unroll dough on work surface; sperate into triangles.
  2. Top each triangle with bacon, scrambled egg and cheese. Roll up loosely as directed on can. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; curve into crescent shape. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with pepper.
  3. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
This is a recipe fromm Pillsbury that I found in the grocery store and decided to try out this weekend. It was great! Though here are few little tips that would have helped out or may enhance the recipe:
  • Slightly undercook the bacon a bit because it will continue to cook when you bake the crescents; I noticed the pieces that were "really" cooked, were almost too crunchy by the end
  • Mix bacon into eggs while they are being scrambled
  • Add other items to eggs - peppers, onions, etc.
  • Use more cheese than we did - would have been better to have more cheese :-)
I wanted to try freezing a couple of these to see how they are to make ahead and have for breakfast later in the week when short on time - but well, they were too good and we gobbled them up! Maybe next time.
