How To Make Them

Heres how to make this delicious breakfast. You can find the full ingredients list along with instructions on the recipe card below.

Preheat the oven to 375°

First, scramble add the eggs in a small bowl and add them to a greased skillet over medium high heat. Let the eggs cook for a few minutes, season them with salt and pepper and gently fold the omelette into itself creating a large french omelette. Break the omelette into 8 equal sized pieces.

PRO TIP: You can just scramble the eggs instead of making the omelette but they may fall apart more easily

Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the crescent rolls, separate the triangles and lay them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Add one slice of cheese and bacon to the largest part of the triangle. Place a piece of the omelette on top.

PRO TIP: I like using American Cheese slices instead of shredded cheese because it stays in the crescent roll triangle more easily.

Now, roll the crescent rolls up around the bacon, egg and cheese starting with the wide bottom and ending with the top of the triangle. Pinch/ push the dough together slightly to seal it.

Place them into the center rack of the oven for about 10-13 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked all the way through. Finally, let them cool slightly, serve and enjoy!

PRO TIP: Place it into the center rack to ensure they are cooked evenly and don't begin to burn on the bottom.
