Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is often less expensive.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories, while processed cheese is usually cheaper.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Egg whites reduce cholesterol, while substitutes can be more economical.

crescent roll dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat adds fiber, while homemade can save costs.

Preheat oven to 375℉.

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 paper, 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 the 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 color.

Carefully transfer the parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the crescents are cooked and golden brown.

Garnish with parsley, if preferred. Serve warm.
