Ingredients

  • 1 Package Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
  • 7 Large Eggs
  • 6-8 Slices Bacon
  • 1 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Water

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 375 and line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Cook bacon to just under your desired preference for crispiness, it will cook a little more in the oven so it will continue to crisp. Remove from the heat, drain on paper towels and allow to cool.
  • Place 6 eggs in a large bowl, add a splash of water (about a tablespoon) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until all the yolks and whites have been well blended.
  • Scramble eggs in a large skillet over medium heat in a little bit of butter or oil. Cook until mostly cooked but still a bit soft and wet in appearance. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Unroll crescent dough onto the prepared baking sheet and press the seams together to seal and create a sheet of crescent dough.
  • Spoon scrambled eggs lengthwise down the middle third of the dough.
  • Reserve about ¼ cup of shredded cheddar and sprinkle the rest evenly across the eggs.
  • Chop bacon into small pieces and sprinkle evenly on top of the cheese.
  • Using a sharp knife slice the sides of the crescent roll sheet into 8 even wide strips on each of the long sides of the rectangle.
  • Lift strips of dough from each side and pinch them together in the middle. Repeat until all of the pieces of dough have been pressed together.
  • Place the remaining egg in a small bowl with a splash of water and whisk. Brush the egg wash over the top of the braid .
  • Evenly sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese and everything bagel seasoning across the top.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into 8 pieces and serving warm. I like to use a bread knife or pizza cutter to slice it.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container.
