Breakfast Croissant Ring

I fun, easy breakfast idea to make for a party or company. I always love a good breakfast recipe that I can make when we have company over and this one is perfect. My picture below could use some work, but you could put a bowl of salsa in the middle of the ring for a pretty presentation.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, cut in half
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
4 eggs
Salt and pepper, if desired
1 can croissants
1 cup shredded Mexican or cheddar cheese blend
Chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
1 cup salsa, if desired

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat about 4 minutes or until cooked but not crisp, turning once. Or you can cook in a cold oven, set to 400 and bake for 15 minutes. Set bacon aside.

2. In medium bowl, beat 1/3 cup of the milk, the eggs, salt and pepper with fork or whisk until well mixed. Pour egg mixture into skillet and scramble.

3. Meanwhile, unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. On parchment-lined cookie sheet, arrange triangles with shortest sides toward center, overlapping in star shape and leaving 4-inch round circle open in center (see photo). Crescent dough points may hang over edge of cookie sheet. Press overlapping dough to flatten.

4. Place bacon on each of the triangles. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese onto widest part of dough. Spoon eggs over cheese. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the cheese. Pull points of triangles over eggs and cheese, and tuck under dough to form ring (filling will be visible). Carefully brush dough with remaining 1 tablespoon milk; sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup cheese.

5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. With broad spatula, carefully loosen ring from cookie sheet; slide onto serving platter. Garnish with cilantro and place a bowl of salsa right in the middle if desired.
