Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1 package (8 oz / 225g) Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough Look for 'flaky layers' variety.
  • 4 large Eggs Whisked for scrambling.
  • 4 slices Thick-cut Bacon Fried until crispy and chopped.
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Sharp Orange Cheddar Cheese Shredded.
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Whole Milk Added to eggs for tenderness.
Glaze and Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Salted Butter Melted for glazing.
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Parsley Fine flakes.
  • 1/4 tsp Cracked Black Pepper Coarse grind.

Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick Skillet Used for scrambling eggs and frying bacon.
  • 1 Baking Sheet Line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • 1 Pastry Brush For applying the melted butter glaze.

Method
 

Prepare the Fillings
  1. Place bacon in a cold skillet and heat to medium. Cook until dark-red and crispy. Drain and chop into chunks.
  2. Whisk eggs with milk. In the same skillet (drained), cook eggs over medium-low heat until soft-curds form but are still slightly wet.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Separate crescent triangles. Place eggs, bacon, and cheese at the wide end and roll toward the point.
  2. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden-brown and cheese is melted.
  3. Brush hot rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley and cracked black pepper.

Notes

Keep the dough cold until the moment of assembly for maximum flakiness.
Do not over-scramble the eggs; they will finish cooking in the oven.
