Ingredients
- 8 slices (about 8 oz.) bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 (8 oz.) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Bake or fry the bacon according to its package directions. Cool. Blot grease away with paper towels. Chop or use your hands to crumble the bacon into very small pieces.
- Add the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk until the eggs are well scrambled. Add the butter to a medium skillet and place over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the eggs to the skillet. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the eggs are done (160 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Divide the cooked eggs between the crescent rolls. Use the back of a spoon to smash the eggs down into an even flat layer. Top the eggs with the bacon. Top the bacon with the shredded cheese.
- Fold the points of the crescent roll over the top of the filling, trying to cover as much of the filling as possible. Pinch the dough together where it touches.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes.
- Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.* Serve warm.
Notes
*Don’t leave them in the muffin tin for much longer than 5 minutes or the bottoms will get soggy.

Diane Thompson-Scott says
Came out perfect!! I did find that putting the longer point of the pastry triangle and then bringing the shorter 2 points covered better. My husband likes sausage so I might make him some with sausage next time.
Thank you!
