Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Ring Base

16 ounces (2 cans) crescent rolls (each can contains 8 rolls, total 16 rolls)
2 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)

Fillings

22–24 tater tots, warmed
6 large eggs, scrambled
½ pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
4 slices cooked bacon, sliced into ¼ inch pieces
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese

Serving

Breakfast gravy, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange Crescent Rolls: Place a small bowl in the center of the parchment paper. Open the cans of crescent rolls and separate them. Lay one crescent roll flat with the wide side near the base of the bowl. Overlap the second roll slightly on the first one.
Form the Crescent Ring Base: Continue placing crescent rolls around the bowl in a sun shape pattern, overlapping the wide ends to form a ring.
Add Tater Tots: Place a single row of 22-24 warmed tater tots, side by side, around the wide edge of the crescent rolls next to the bowl, creating a circle.
Layer Scrambled Eggs: Evenly spoon the scrambled eggs around the circle of tater tots, distributing them well.
Add Sausage and Bacon: Spread the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage and the sliced cooked bacon evenly over the eggs and tater tots.
Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese over the meat layer.
Wrap the Filling: Starting at the pointed outer corners of each crescent roll, pull the dough over the fillings and tuck the dough under the inner edge of the rolls. Make sure to tuck well to keep the ring secure during baking.
Complete the Ring: Continue pulling and tucking each crescent roll until the ring is fully formed around the bowl. Remove the bowl from the center carefully.
Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the melted butter generously over the top of the crescent ring and sprinkle with poppy seeds, if using.
Bake: Place the ring on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check for doneness and bake an additional 5 minutes if needed, until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Remove from oven, slice the ring, and serve warm with breakfast gravy for dipping.

Notes

You can substitute breakfast gravy with maple syrup or salsa for a twist on flavors.
Use sausage or bacon according to preference or dietary restrictions; turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage can be alternatives.
Make sure the crescent rolls are tucked well so the fillings do not leak out during baking.
For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the egg mixture or sprinkle some chili flakes on top.
Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
