Description

Enjoy flaky crescent squares filled with savory sausage, egg, and cheese. Perfect for breakfast or as a delicious appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough – This is the base of your dish, providing the flaky crust that holds all the delicious fillings together.
  • 1 pound turkey bacon – A flavorful alternative to pork, turkey bacon adds a savory, crispy texture to the dish, making it a healthier choice.
  • 6 large eggs – The eggs act as a binding agent, giving the filling a rich and creamy texture that complements the other ingredients.
  • 1/4 cup milk – Adds creaminess and helps create a softer texture in the egg mixture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt – Enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper – A hint of spice that adds depth to the flavor profile.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – Provides a velvety, cheesy richness that pairs beautifully with the other flavors.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions – Introduces a fresh crunch and a burst of color to the dish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your squares cook evenly and become perfectly golden.
  2. Cook the turkey bacon: In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of turkey bacon over medium heat until it is nicely browned and crispy, usually about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to drain any excess fat once cooked.
  3. Whisk the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. This combination will contribute a fluffy and flavorful filling.
  4. Prepare the crescent dough: Unroll the 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet. Pinch together the seams to create a solid rectangle, forming the base for your squares.
  5. Assemble the filling: Begin by spreading the crispy turkey bacon evenly over the dough. Then, carefully pour the egg mixture over the turkey bacon ensuring even coverage.
  6. Add cheese and onions: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions over the top of the layered fillings, adding an extra burst of flavor.
  7. Bake the squares: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the egg mixture is set. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-browning.
  8. Cool and serve: Once baked, let the squares cool for a few minutes. Then, slice them into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
