Bacon Egg and Cheese Crescent Roll

My husband and I both like breakfast foods. But we really only get to enjoy them on the weekends. Usually, it's some form of eggs, breakfast sandwiches or an occasional quiche. I like trying new breakfast recipes. This one combines our favorites - bacon, eggs and cheese, all wrapped up in a crescent roll. And it couldn't be easier. I found the recipe via Pinterest here.

Ingredients:

1 can of crescent rolls
5 eggs, scrambled
1 cup of shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
5-8 slices of cooked bacon (I used turkey bacon)
Salt and pepper to taste
 
Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Scramble eggs on stove top. Lay out crescent roll dough in a star formation, on a parchment lined baking sheet (the longer sides of each crescent on the inside with the pointed ends pointing out.)

2. Place cooked bacon around the inside center of the ring. Top with about 1/3 of the cheese, scrambled eggs, salt and pepper, and remaining cheese.

3. Fold pointed tips of each crescent over the filling and join in the center. Press points together to seal.

4. Place in oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Slice in between each crescent to make 8 individual pieces.

This breakfast was so delicious, even reheated the next day. It's perfect for a brunch or a lazy Sunday afternoon. Enjoy!
 

  

Spinach, Mushroom, Chicken Sausage & Cheese Quiche

This morning I made a quiche for breakfast with some different ingredients. I usually make this one with Ham, Cheese, Broccoli and Mushrooms. Today, I was in the mood for spinach, mushrooms and chicken sausage. I can't get enough of Wegmans all natural fully cooked breakfast with sage chicken sausage. It's a healthier breakfast sausage option, and goes great with eggs, breakfast sandwiches or in a quiche. 

Ingredients:
1 cup sliced breakfast sausage (cooked), about 4 links
1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms
2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup Bisquick
4 eggs
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.

Chop sausage and veggies and add to a large bowl with shredded cheese. Toss to combine. 

 Sprinkle mixture into a deep-dish pie plate and distribute evenly.

Add Bisquick, eggs, milk, salt and pepper to large bowl, and whisk by hand for 1 minute. 

Pour liquid into pie plate, covering all ingredients. Press down vegetables and try to keep everything covered. It will be very full. 

Bake at 400 degrees for about 50-60 minutes, until top is golden and knife inserted into center comes out clean. If it's still too "jiggly" in the middle, bake until more set. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut and serve.

Enjoy! Perfect for breakfast or an Easter brunch. Refrigerate leftovers.
