DIY: Brunch Roll

End Result:

Bacon, Egg, Cheese and Pepper Ring | Home Fries | Fruit Fries | Blackberry Mint Spritzer


And on the plate....




Brunch was especially amazing this morning.  I was at a friend's house in Upper West Side and had decided I wanted to take advantage of Trader Joe's right down the block.  After diving into my Pinterest, One Tsp. account, and Food Network recipe box I came up with this menu:

Bacon Egg and Cheese Ring
Home Fries
Fruit Fries
Blackberry Mint Spritzer

Now I decided to make my own variation of the Bacon Egg and Cheese Roll I pinned to my Pinterest account. http://pinterest.com/pin/177118197816088375/

but here is my Brunch Roll http://onetsp.com/recipe/347258-brunch-roll.

The original recipe is really quite easy, Crescent rolls, bacon, eggs, cheese, wrap it up, throw it in the oven.  The most confusing part is figuring out how to get the crescent rolls in a ring so I took a picture below to show that you put the thicker ends all together and point out the pointy parts like a star.  Then I mushed all the thick dough parts together to make a crust without any holes.

My Brunch Roll

I decided to add Bell Pepper and Onions to the original recipe, which I fried in grease from the bacon. So that  is step one.


I had some confusion about how to set up the crescent rolls, so here is my set up.  Excuse all the fruit and veggies


Once I got the crescent rolls part figured out, I put the bacon on top of the middle crust part.  I found this bacon at trader joes on sale, but the point is to not put down full strips.  Instead, break the bacon up in bite size pieces.


Then i fried an egg with the egg beaters and added some green chiles to it.


So then the layering.  Crescent rolls, bacon, egg, cheese, pepper onion mix, another egg, more cheese, then wrap it all up. Throw it in the over or toaster oven at 375 for 17 minutes.  Voila.
