When making individual breakfast sandwiches for your family or brunch gatherings is too much of a timely task, a pull apart breakfast sandwich ring makes it easy! Breakfast rings are great for brunches and large family weekend breakfasts. One of my favorite times to put this recipe together is on holiday mornings, when everyone is busy and we can come by the kitchen, grab a sandwich and go.

This bacon, egg and cheese crescent breakfast ring can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning, making it a simple choice for those busy mornings.

Oven Method

1. Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or in the air fryer on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes.
2. While the bacon cooks, scramble the eggs on a griddle or frying pan. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired.
3. Unpackage the crescent roll dough and arrange triangle pieces in a circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, with the short ends in the inner circle touching (see picture below). Spread the dough pieces gently to form larger triangles if necessary. It should look like a star.
4. Sprinkle inner half of each crescent triangle with cheddar cheese. Break the cooked bacon slices into 2 pieces and layer 2 half slices over the cheese. Add equal portions of scrambled eggs and a little more cheese.
5. Fold the tip of the crescent triangles over the filling and tuck underneath. Brush the top of the dough lightly with milk and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning and more cheese, if desired.
6. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, or until top is golden brown.

Air Fryer Method

Follow the steps above for cooking the bacon and scrambled eggs. In oven style air fryers, you can make the ring following the instructions above. Air fry at 375°F for 6-8 minutes. In basket style air fryers, take 2 crescent pieces and form a rectangle. Place bacon, eggs, and cheese on one side and fold the other side over. Seal the seams, brush with milk and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning. Air fry sandwiches for 6-8 minutes.

Variations

There are many ways to change a breakfast crescent ring to satisfy your food preferences or dietary restrictions. A few suggestions are:

• Change the meat: use turkey bacon, sausage or pork roll.
• Add greens: spinach, arugula, diced broccoli and diced asparagus are great healthy additions to breakfast sandwiches.
• Add some vegetables: like avocado, tomato or peppers.
• Different cheese: mozzarella cheese, swiss cheese, feta cheese and provolone are great too.
• Dairy free: use dairy free cheese and egg white to brush the dough.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and then toast on 350 degrees Fahrenheit, until the middle is warm. You can also warm them in the microwave, but the toaster will crisp the sandwich up.
