Print Recipe

A quick and delicious breakfast ring made with crescent roll dough, sausage, eggs, and cheese. Perfect for busy mornings or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tubes (8 oz each) crescent roll dough, refrigerated
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (raw, bulk or links removed from casing)
  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or cream
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 170 g) shredded sharp cheddar or cheddar and Monterey Jack blend
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking sausage and greasing pan
  • Optional: finely chopped onions or bell peppers, fresh herbs like chives or parsley, smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into the same skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently and cook until just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Fold cooked sausage and shredded cheese into the scrambled eggs. Mix gently to combine. Keep filling warm but not hot.
  5. Unroll two tubes of crescent roll dough onto the parchment-lined pan. Pinch perforations between triangles to seal and form one large circle with points facing inward.
  6. Spoon sausage, egg, and cheese mixture into the center of the dough circle, spreading evenly but leaving about 2 inches clear at edges.
  7. Fold crescent points over the filling, tucking them under the ring to seal, creating a braided effect.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let ring cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help filling set.

Notes

Drain excess sausage fat to prevent soggy dough. Seal crescent seams well to avoid filling leakage. Tent with foil if dough browns too fast. Use room temperature eggs for fluffiness. Can assemble the night before and refrigerate before baking. Freeze unbaked ring wrapped tightly; thaw overnight before baking.
