How To Make Air Fryer Crescent Breakfast Ring

Step One: Whisk together eggs, chopped red and green peppers, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour into a preheated frying pan and cook until the eggs are set.

Step Two: Arrange the crescent rolls on parchment paper in a star shape. Spoon the cooked egg and pepper mixture into the center of the crescent ring.

Step Three: Layer the cooked bacon slices over the eggs, then evenly sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Step Four: Carefully transfer the crescent breakfast ring into the air fryer. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water, then brush it over the dough for a golden finish. Cook at air fryer temperature of 320 degrees F on the air fryer setting and set cook time for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.

Air Fryer Crescent Breakfast Ring Recipe Tips

• Pre-cook the bacon: Ensures even cooking and reduces excess grease.
• Seal the dough edges well: Prevents filling from leaking during air frying.
• Use an egg wash: Brushing the ring creates a shiny, golden crust.
• Avoid overcrowding the basket: Keeps the ring evenly cooked and crispy.
• Customize fillings: Swap bacon for sausage, add veggies, or mix different cheeses.
• Check for doneness: Cooking times vary by air fryer; look for puffed, golden dough.
• Prep ahead: Assemble in advance for a quick brunch or breakfast gathering.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Serve immediately for best flavor; can sit for up to 2 hours.
• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.
• Freezer: Assemble and freeze unbaked ring in plastic wrap and foil for up to 1 month. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to air fryer cooking time.
• Avoid sogginess: Reheating in the air fryer keeps the pastry flaky; microwaving can make it soft.
