'Brunch Thing'

I was looking to try a new recipe (pillsbury.com/recipes/bacon-egg-and-cheese-brunch-ring) and I just so happened to have a  package of Pillsbury crescent rolls on hand.  I decided to give this one a try and see if it would be simple and delicious enough to switch up our holiday usual.  The original is a great recipe.  Below is the the way I ended up making it.  A bit different from the Pillsbury recipe but definitely simple AND delicious!  Serves 8, hypothetically ;)

INGREDIENTS -

1 pkg. PILLSBURY crescent roll dough
7 - eggs
2 - Laughing cow cheese triangles*
3/4 cup diced ham or another meat of your choice (i.e. chopped Bacon, crumbled Sausage)
1/2cup grated TILLAMOOK Jack cheese
1/2 cup grated TILLAMOOK Cheddar cheese
2 - green onions chopped fine*
* Laughing cow and green onions are optional but highly recommended!

Serve warm garnished with seasonal fruit, avocado slices and fresh salsa

Fresh from the oven!

DIRECTIONS-

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly oil baking sheet or line with a sheet of parchment paper.
• Open and separate triangle pieces of crescent roll dough. On the bake sheet, place the dough in a circle with widest ends touching. Lightly press the corners together.
• Grate and mix jack and cheddar cheese together.
• Over medium high heat, in a medium sized non-stick skillet coated with one t. oil, crack eggs.  Add laughing cow cheese and scramble together with a spatula.  Periodically remove from heat so that the eggs are not burned. Add cooked meat, about half of the mixed cheese and  Chopped green onion. Pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Don't over cook the eggs as they will bake more in the oven.
• Evenly divide egg mixture eight ways and place on to the widest part of each of the uncooked crescent rolls.  Gently but firmly bring the pointed top of the rolls over the egg mixture, toward the center of the ring and tuck under the wide part of the roll.  There will be egg mixture showing.  Top with the remaining grated cheese.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crescent rolls are a nice golden brown. Keep an eye on them starting about 18 minutes in to the baking. Each oven temp varies. My oven took only 20 minutes. 
• Let them rest for a minute or so before removing from the bake sheet. 
• Use a wide flipper/spatula to separate and serve. 
• THESE ARE A NEW FAVORITE and will be a great addition to our next holiday buffet brunch...(Mother's day!)
