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.

Eggy Dinner

by

I’m in a big ol’ baking slump.  Mostly because all I want to do is be outside, preferably lake-side, these days.  Partly because I’ve been spending so much time by the lake that I’ve neglected all of my chores.  Bare cabinets and dusty floors are a small price to pay for fantastic memories though.  Don’t you think?

I decided to whip up something for dinner that I could also bring to work for breakfast tomorrow.  And since I always have eggs and veggies laying around, a baked frittata seemed not only appropriate, but possible.

FoodFash Baked Frittata (yields 2 servings)

4 eggs

1/2 cup frozen spinach

1/2 cup frozen asparagus

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

2 oven safe dishes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Beat two eggs in each dish and add half of the remaining ingredients to each.  Set the oven safe dishes on a baking sheet and place on the middle rack of the oven.  Bake until the eggs are fully cooked, about 30 minutes.

I wasn’t sure how satisfying these would be without milk or cheese to fluff and flavor, but I was really happy with the way they turned out.  And I’m pretty excited to have something other than a boiled egg or Greek yogurt tomorrow for breakfast.  Looks like I’ll be adding these to the weekday breakfast rotation!
