Want something quick, easy and tasty for the morning.. here ya go!
Ingredients:
Notes: If cooking for two: use the small Pillsbury crescent roll 4 pack - (like above photo) If cooking for more: Use the big/regular tube of crescents. Bake time will not vary much - you'll use more eggs and bacon - like 6-7 eggs and 4-5 strips bacon) This is more filling than it looks!
Small tube of 4 Crescent Rolls
3 eggs
2 strips of bacon
Shredded Cheese
Salt and Pepper
Hot pepper flakes
Scallion or Chive for garnish
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Add the strips of bacon to a foil lined baking sheet and put into the cold preheating oven - bake for about 6-7 minutes or so until crisp - then remove. (Pro-tip - my bacon is typically ready at the same time the oven reaches the 400 degrees - maybe a minute after)
3. In the meantime - on a parchment lined baking sheet - take out the crescent rolls and roll them out and press your fingers over the parts where they're meant to separate to close the gaps. Go around the edges and build a little wall/edge so the eggs can sit in there without leaking.
4. Once you have your little square with walls - add the eggs, salt, pepper, hot pepper flakes and a little bit of cheese all around the eggs.
5. Once the bacon is out - I let them sit on paper towel for one minute - then - lay the strips across the eggs.
6. Put the egg bake into the oven for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye - I personally like to have the eggs over easy/over medium - so I remove at 10 - remember, they will cook just a little more out of the oven. IF you made the larger pillsbury can - the baking time will be about the same timing - just keep an eye out starting at the 10 minute mark.
7. Remove from oven - let sit for 2 minutes - garnish with scallion then cut with a pizza cutter into 4 squares and eat!
Enjoy! Xoxo Chef Em
