Bacon, Egg & Cheese Crescent Rolls

The holidays are quickly approaching, which means get-togethers and baking galore. And while our social media feeds will be filled mostly with sweet treats and holiday meals, I’ll continue dreaming up savory breakfasts {my favorite!}.

Pillsbury crescent rolls are a convenient {and delicious} way to wrap up your favorite breakfast ingredients. What you’d ordinarily stuff in a breakfast taco or kolache will work wonderfully wrapped in this buttery dough.

When I asked the Instagram world “what are your favorite ingredients to stuff inside a Pillsbury crescent roll?”, I was amazed at many creative responses I received! Jalapeño cream cheese, pepperoni pizza, spinach artichoke dip, cinnamon apples, Nutella, sausage. Every single suggestion sounded oh so delicious!

But the combination that won me over this go around was egg, bacon, green onions, and sharp cheddar. Let me just tell you, this is a glorious way to start a morning! Green onion gives the crescent roll a nice complexity and thick slab bacon adds a crave-able savory smoke. When prepared and heated up the next day, these breakfast crescent rolls are still top notch.
