Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough (226g) 1 can
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon cooked and crumbled (about 1/2 cup / 60g)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp whole milk or heavy cream (15ml)
  • 1 cup sharp orange cheddar cheese (115g) freshly grated
  • 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter (22g) divided: 1/2 tbsp for eggs, 1 tbsp melted for wash
  • 0.25 tsp salt (1.5g)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper (1.5g)

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Heavy-duty aluminum for even baking.
  • 1 Non-stick skillet Crucial for soft scrambled eggs.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place bacon slices in a cold skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until deep mahogany and crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and chop into pieces.
  2. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Melt 1/2 tbsp of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs, wait 10 seconds, and gently push with a spatula. Remove from heat while still slightly wet and glossy.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough into 8 individual triangles.
  4. Place a small spoonful of scrambled eggs onto the wide base of each dough triangle. Top with crispy bacon pieces and a mound of freshly grated cheddar cheese.
  5. Carefully roll the dough from the wide base to the tip, tucking the sides to encase the filling. Place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  6. Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with the remaining 1 tbsp of melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is golden-brown and the cheese is oozing.

Notes

Keep the Dough Cold: Do not unroll the crescent dough until the exact moment you are ready to stuff it.
Undercook the Eggs: Leave the scrambled eggs slightly runny, as they will continue cooking inside the hot oven.
