Recipe: Easy Breakfast Crescent Braid

Easy Breakfast Crescent Braid
adapted from Our Best Bites

1 roll Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations
Scrambled Eggs
(I used 3 eggs + 1 egg white + 1 1/2 T milk + salt and pepper)
4-5 strips bacon (or sausage, ham, etc)
1/2 C grated cheese


  1. Scramble eggs in a skillet. Since this will cook again in the oven, under cook your eggs. You want them to be cooked enough to hold together, but leave them a bit wet. Cook bacon strips and set aside.
  2. Next, use a rolling pin and a lightly floured work surface to roll out the crescent dough to about 10 in x 12 in. Lay the eggs down the center of the rectangle, leaving room on both sides and the 2 ends, as pictured below. Top with bacon & cheese.
  3. Use a pizza cutter to slice even slits on the sides of your rectangle:
  4. Fold over both ends, starting on one end, bring the side pieces in and overlap them. You’ll want to alternate- one from the right, then one from the left and so on and so on.
  5.  Keep doing it until you get all the way to the end.
  6. When you get to the end, just tuck where you can to make it pretty.
  7. Bake according to package instructions. About 375 for about 15-20 minutes. If you want it shiny on top, give it a quick egg wash before you bake. When it’s done, it should be golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Slice on a slight diagonal and eat immediately!
