Bacon, Egg and Cheese Crescent


So this morning the husband was off of work and as I stood in the kitchen, I began to crave a Bacon, egg, and cheese crescent from Burger King. Now, I do not eat fast food as a rule, too many calories, and usually unhealthy. However, I have been known to splurge every now and again-usually at breakfast time. When I was working on my doctorate, there was a Burger King right in front of my school. Since I only had to go once a month, sometimes I would stop and get breakfast there. I usually would...ehhmm...get the crescent even though I knew that there was better options on the menu. But, there I go birdwalking. So I came up with this...then later...I found out that Pillsbury had already created it. Boo. I thought I had a Jone Original! However, my recipe does differ from Pillsbury so I will include a link to Pillsbury as well.

Then my recipe.
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Crescent
A can of reduced calorie crescent rolls
3 eggs
4 egg whites
pepper to taste
seasoned salt
Bacon-didn't measure (it was from a Hormel bag that I purchased from Sams)
Fat Free Cheddar Cheese-didn't measure
Butter Spray

I sprayed a pizza pan with Pam and then laid out the rolls in a star type pattern with the pointy end laying out over the ends. Then, I put the bacon and the cheese on the rolls while the eggs cooked. I added the salt and pepper to the eggs. I didn't let the eggs overcook. I put the eggs on the bacon and cheese rolls, then topped with a little more cheese. After that, I began wrapping up the bacon, egg, and cheese until it formed like a ring. I think I could do a braid as well which I want to try next time because the husband wants me to add sausage. Or I could do it with little pockets so that it would be extremely portable. I think it would be good with lots of veggies-mushrooms, peppers and onions (when I can eat them without upsetting my little guys tummy). Spray with butter spray. Bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. I started checking mine at 20.




My husband gave this a two thumbs up. He liked the fact that it was portable. He could just grab one and go.
