Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Lay bacon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, ensuring a one-inch lip to catch grease.

Cook bacon in the oven for 15-18 minutes until desired crispness is reached.

While the bacon cooks, prepare vegetables: slice red and green bell peppers thinly and dice them small, and dice a small amount of onion.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

Add the diced peppers and onions to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.

In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder with parsley.

Add the egg mixture to the sautéed peppers and onions, lowering the heat to medium. Stir gently to set the eggs without breaking them apart too much.

Once the eggs are mostly set, stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese until melted, then turn off the burner.

Open one package of crescent roll dough (8 ounces) and pull apart the rolls to create a ring on a parchment-lined sheet pan, overlapping the tips.

Place one piece of cooked bacon across the center of the dough ring and sprinkle a little cheese on top of the bacon.

Spoon the egg and vegetable mixture around the inside of the crescent ring.

Fold the tips of the crescent dough over the filling and tuck them under to seal.

In a small bowl, crack one egg and add 1 tablespoon of water, whisking to combine. Brush this egg wash over the tops of the crescent dough.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
