Pesto Crescent Breakfast Ring
We love adding pesto, as it really makes the flavor so delightful. Serve this for breakfast or brunch.
Friends, did you survive Christmas? We were on the busier side this year, with moving into our new house.
Slowing down and enjoy the simple things … that is what our Christmas Eve was!
On Christmas day, we enjoyed a family breakfast, and hosted 14 for a potluck dinner! (More details later …)
How to make a crescent breakfast ring
- Cook the eggs and bacon; add the pesto!
- Grease a circular baking sheet or stone with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent rolls and piece together into a circle, slightly overlapping the edges so they stick together.
- Place a slice of bacon on top of each crescent roll, then fill in the widest part of the roll with the scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Carefully roll up and tuck the tips into the center of the ring—it should look like a shallow circle.
- Final steps: Brush with egg wash and sprinkle Parmesan on top, and bake until golden or until the dough is cooked and top is browned.
- Serve your favorite coffee, and ENJOY!

–You may be shy, and reluctant to invite someone to hang out, because you’re fearful you’ll be rejected.
–One thing I’ve learned about the holidays: People are busy!
–You have to have a little grace when it comes to people protecting their schedules and not wanting to over-commit.
–Wait until the new year and make it happen?

Pesto Crescent Breakfast Ring
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 6 eggs, plus 1 for (egg wash (see below)
- 1/3 c pesto
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- 3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 c grated Parmesan, optional
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your bacon—or do it in the oven! Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes (depending on how thick bacon is). Just make sure it doesn’t get too stiff and crispy, because you’ll be rolling it.
- When bacon has cooked, transfer to a paper towel and drain the fat from pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and pesto. Season with salt and pepper. Heat pan over medium to medium-low heat, then add eggs to skillet and scramble—don’t overcook.
- Grease a circular baking sheet or stone with parchment paper. Unroll crescent rolls and piece together into a circle, slightly overlapping the edges so they stick together. Place a slice of bacon on top of each crescent roll, then fill in the widest part of the roll with the scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of cheese. Carefully roll up and tuck the tips into the center of the ring—it should look like a shallow circle.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked and top is browned. Serve hot.
Wasn’t sure how I’d like the pesto and egg, but it was so tasty. I would definitely make this a rotating meal. I made it for my daughter for breakfast and don’t have much time in the morning. So, I scrambled egg and pesto night before, used Aldis precooked bacon, made my egg wash, measured out the cheese ahead of time, and had my stone with parchment paper ready to go. It took about 15 minutes for my first assembly job and 15 minutes to bake. My 16 year old daughter had seconds and said it tasted good. My father in law wouldn’t touch it because it looked different…his loss, our gain:) The eggs turn green from the pesto, but you don’t notice it too much with the cheese on top. Just happened to make it the day before St. Patrick’s Day. My kids and I don’t care about the color either way, just the father in law seems to care.
