The Scoop

A butter crescent dough hugs a mixture of eggs, sausage, and melted cheese to make slow weekend mornings or big life moments feel even bigger.  
This is not a basic breakfast. 
It’s more like a "we actually made it through the chaos" kind of meal.

Hack it:
Use mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese for a different version of the recipe.
Or if you are not into mascarpone either, use Greek yogurt instead.
Feeling fancy? Use dandelions instead of spinach. Kale will do the trick too.
Leftovers:
Pop them into the air-fryer to bring them back to life.
Chop any leftovers into dices, fry in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, and turn them into croutons for your soups and salads.
Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze for a future breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 7 eggs, divided
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 (12-ounce) can crescent rolls
  • cheddar cheese, to taste
  • sausage, to taste, cooked and crumbled
  • bacon, to taste, cooked and crumbled
  • spinach, to taste
  • feta cheese, to taste, crumbled
  • ham, to taste, cooked and diced

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line an 18x26-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add 6 of the eggs and whisk to combine.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula to scramble, until they are almost set.
  • Add the cream cheese to the scrambled eggs and cook, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese has melted.
  • Roll out the crescent roll dough and pinch all the seams together.
  • Use a knife to cut 1-inch-long horizontal strips on the left and right edges of the crescent dough, leaving the middle section intact for the filling.
  • Add the scrambled egg mixture, the cheddar cheese, the sausage, the bacon, the spinach, the feta cheese, and the ham to the middle section of the crescent dough.
  • Pull the dough strips, one from each side, over the filling mixture and pinch in the center to combine. Some of the filling will show through.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg.
  • Use a pastry brush to coat the crescent bake all over with the egg wash.
  • Bake the crescent bake until it is heated through, the cheese has melted, and the top is golden-brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the crescent bake sit, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice and serve warm.
