I was paying a reciprocal visit to Kait of Never Trust The Skinny Cook. Not only did I find out this beautiful young lady has a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and just finished her Masters Degree in Social Work, with the ultimate goal in life of finding a job as a therapist in clinical social work … but also, while exploring her blog, I saw her post, Breakfast Wreath. I was quite amused by the shape of the dish and curious about where it originated. I did not find the answer. However, I discovered that although shapes were similar, there were varieties of recipes for the fillings. These rings may be made as large as will fit the oven. With creative fillings of choice, they may also be made for an appetizer or a dinner item. Surprise your family with this visually delightful meal! Or, better yet, involve the young ones to help assemble the ring!

Breakfast Ring
Recipe by: Fae’s Twist & Tango (fae-magazine.com)
INGREDIENTS
• 1 tube refrigerated crescent dough (contains 8 pieces)
• 5½ large eggs, scrambled, semi-cooked
• ½ large egg – for egg-wash, beaten with 1½ tsp water
• 1 cup sliced button mushrooms, briefly sautéed
• ½ cup de-seeded, sliced tomatoes
• 113 g/ 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20 small leaves of fresh ‘mint’ ← highly recommend
• sausage(s) of choice, or bacon – omit for vegetarian
• salt & ground black pepper to taste – for scrambled eggs
• vegetable oil or butter – for eggs and sautéing
DIRECTIONS
◊ Have all your fillings cooked, fried, sautéed, cut-up, shredded and ready
before crescent dough is taken out of the refrigerator.
◊ Place rack on lower third of oven shelf and preheat oven to 175°C/350°F.
◊ Line a pizza pan or a baking sheet with parchment paper.
◊ Now take out the crescent dough from the refrigerator and arrange as seen in the photo.
From this point on, work quickly for best baking result.
◊ First, put scrambled eggs all around the center ring. Then arrange sautéed mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, sausages and/or your heart’s desire all around/over the eggs.
◊ Top it with cheese and mint.
◊ Fold the ends of the crescents over and tightly tuck them under.
◊ Brush the dough area with the egg-wash and bake in well preheated oven for 25~30 minutes or until the surface is browned.

◊ Brush the dough area with the egg-wash and bake in well preheated oven for 25~30 minutes or until the surface is browned. ***(Due to time taken for photography, the dough stayed out/warmed-up, causing the crescent dough not to puff as thick as they normally do.)

“I made this Breakfast Ring with puff pastry filled with mozzarella cheese, some onion, bell-pepper and plenty of dried Italian seasoning/herbs.”

Love this idea, great for picky kids!
What a fantastic idea! The kids will love it. I should make it sometime.
Oh yes! Even big kids love them!
Especially if favorite fillings are used.
What a fab idea! Would love to give it a whirl–such a pretty presentation! I, too, dig baking with Pillsbury crescents.
Oh my! It looks delicious! And quite easy.. Absolutely delightful to look at!
What a hearty breakfast and lovely breakfast, I fall in love in first sight and this will be on my thing to do list. Hopefully will be able to find crescent dough here 😉
I’m sure you can find it. Any kind of flaky dough would do, such as puff pastry.
It sure is a conversational piece. 😀 )))
I see…thought it have to be a special for croissants version. Will source and update you on the result
This looks so yummy! And pretty simple too! And the presentation is great! Maybe I should try it while I’m in Germany and have access to this strange concept of pre-made croissant pastry…
I found a recent post!! WOO HOO!! Delish and from a social worker too…..I must go and meet her! Hugz to you ma deah!
Reblogged this on Time for Tidbits and commented:

Hi Fae, great idea for a dinner with friends or maybe even a pic nic. Nice execution showing the details of how to position the pastry to get the right shape.
This does seem like a great project to do with kids!
Hi Fae,
Omg Fae, this is such a brilliant idea and the end result is so beautiful and delicious. I love it that i can just buy the pastry and make it within minutes. Thanks so much for sharing. I have bookmarked this one! Have a lovely week!

Wow, you’ve made a upscale restaurant fancy breakfast supper Fae!

This is magic my friend, so innovative and delicious 😀 Cheers CCU
Look delicious!!!
I’ve seen these before, but never made one. Very nice job!
Oh! so beautiful Fae! I know my girls would just LOVE making this!
This looks really delicious Fae! Yum! I don’t think we can get crescent dough over here though. Would you recommend just using frozen puff pastry, cut into triangles? Oh, actually… haha… I just read your previous response to a comment. Okay, trying this with puff!! xx
Waw, What a fabulous creation! It looks just so amazingly wonderful,…
Say hi to my new desktop’s background picture.

Oh Fae, that’s beautiful! Celeste
Thank you so much for the kind words and mentioning my blog! Your breakfast ring looks beautiful!
Thanks to you Kait, it was inspired by your wreath! I hope you will find the job of your liking! 😀
Thanks for sharing this, Fae! I’ve been wanting to make a “breakfast pizza” and this recipe should fit the bill. It sounds delicious and it looks beautiful!
that’s a very pretty construction. I hear you re food and delay caused by photography … food bloggers plight and fight for balance, but it looks absolutely delicious though! No pun intended, ha ha.
Crazy!!! And crazy beautiful. Such a neat idea!
This looks so tempting….what a preparation, will try this soon…thanks
this is beautiful!
This looks amazing! Love it!
Very impressive, Fae. Thank you for taking the time to create such a thorough instructional post. Having posted a few myself — though none as good — I know how painstaking a process it can be. You handled it masterfully and your photos are all well-shot. And the end result, with that filling, sounds fantastic!
I love the way it is constructed!
What a great idea, i just love it!! I have to try this out for my next brunch… Thank you for sharing it and a cheerful day, Bridget
That looks delicious, Fae. I haven’t tried using frozen/refrigerated dough. As soon as I found one, I will try this. Really looks gorgeous!! 😉
Croissant dough is so time consuming difficult dough to make (I never made it) that I always use the refrigerated ones. Frozen puff pastry should work just as well cut in the shape.
