Sausage Crescent Roll Breakfast Ring

Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day. Unfortunately, I don't really have a lot of motivation in the morning to make it. So the only logical solution to that is to make it for dinner, right?!

Well, regardless of if you believe in "brinner" or not, I think you'll love this dish. My mom often makes taco or pizza rings, so when I saw this recipe for a breakfast ring, I knew I had to invent my own. 

It was kind of a disaster at first. I ended up laying out the crescent rolls wrong, and then piled on the toppings before I realized it. And before I knew it, everything turned into a big mess! Forrest, being the wonderful husband he is, ran to the store to buy me some new crescent rolls. And it all turned out just fine. But for future reference, don't put the filling in until you know for sure that the rolls are put out the right way!

And you want to know why I know this was good? Because Forrest told me it was without me having to ask him! He likes most everything I cook, but I know I did an especially good job when that happens. 

This dish can be changed to fit anyone's taste. If you don't like sausage, substitute it with bacon or ground turkey. Throw in whatever spices you want. Use any type of cheese you want (or omit it entirely, like we did for part of it.) And serve it with salsa. That's a must. This recipe makes two breakfast rings, so if you only want one, be sure to half it! I definitely recommend using a pizza stone (I love the one from Pampered Chef!) because it just makes everything cook better -- but any pan will do!

Sausage Breakfast Ring

makes two rings, serves 8 (4 per ring)

2 cans Pillsbury Big & Flaky refrigerated crescent dinners rolls

1 roll of sausage, any variety

8 large eggs

2 tbsp Pace Southwest Ranch sauce

1 cup mexican style shredded cheese

2 tsp italian seasoning

2 tsp garlic powder

Powdered Parmesan Cheese 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Cook sausage until completely done. Add eggs to pan and continue to cook until no longer runny. Add southwest ranch sauce, italian seasoning and garlic powder until well incorporated. 

On a pizza stone (or a greased cookie sheet) lay out the crescent rolls in a circle, with the pointed part pointing out. Spoon filling into the center of each roll. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of cheese on top of filling. Once all rolls have filling, close each roll by bringing the pointed edge over the filling and closing at the other edge. Once all the rolls are closed, they should resembled a ring. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese. 

Put in oven and cook for 10-15 min, or until the rolls are starting to brown slightly. Serve with salsa.
