STICKY BUN BREAKFAST RING WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING



Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring With Cream Cheese Icing image

I found this recipe on pinterest, and it is the best and easiest sticky bun recipe I've ever made!!! The real goodness though lies in the cream cheese icing. You can skip it if you'd like, but my husband says it makes the sticky buns that much better, and the icing is so tasty that he'd eat it out of the bowl if I'd let him!!! Caution: Seriously Addictive!

Provided by AlainaF

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 1 ring, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (8 ounce) tubes refrigerated buttermilk biscuits or 1 (16 ounce) package Pillsbury Grands refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup pancake syrup (any brand you like, I used Mrs. Buttersworth)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray.
  • Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired).
  • Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  • Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top.
  • Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges (closely together) to form a ring.
  • Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While baking, make the cream cheese icing by adding butter and cream cheese into a bowl and microwaving it until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Stir to combine, then add vanilla extract and salt, stir.
  • Then add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, and whisk to get lumps out.
  • If icing is too thick for your taste, you can thin it out with a little heavy cream or milk.
  • When sticky buns are done baking, let cool for 1 minute in the pan, then invert onto a serving platter.
  • Pour cream cheese icing on top.
  • Enjoy!
  • ** I ended up using 1 1/2 tubes of the Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits (1 tube didn't seem like enough) and baked it for about 30 minutes. It needed a bit longer to bake since I used more.

BACON, EGG, & CHEESE BRUNCH RING RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Brunch Ring Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-50671

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon cut in half crosswise
1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon milk
4 eggs, slightly beaten
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped
1 can Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls
1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
fresh cilantro, chopped, to taste
1 cup Old El Paso Thick N' Chunky Salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In a 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat about 4 minutes or until cooked but not crisp, turning once. Set bacon aside; drain all except 2 teaspoons bacon drippings from skillet. In a medium bowl, beat 1/3 cup of the milk, the eggs, salt, and pepper with a fork or whisk until well mixed. Stir in bell pepper. Pour egg mixture into skillet. As mixture heats, portions of eggs will begin to set. Gently push cooked portions with metal spatula to outside edge of skillet. Avoid stirring constantly. As more egg sets, push it to the edge and place it on top of the already set egg mixture. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist. Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. On the parchment-lined cookie sheet, arrange triangles with shortest sides toward the center, overlapping them slightly, leaving a 4-inch round circle open in the center. This should create a star-like shape. Crescent dough points may hang over the edge of the cookie sheet. Press overlapping dough to flatten. Place bacon on each of the triangles. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese onto widest part of dough. Spoon eggs over cheese. Sprinkle with another 1/3 cup of the cheese. Pull points of triangles over eggs and cheese and tuck under dough to form a ring (filling will be visible). Carefully brush dough with remaining 1 tablespoon milk; sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 2 minutes. With a broad spatula, carefully loosen the ring from the cookie sheet and slide onto a serving platter. Garnish with cilantro and salsa.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your cheese ring will turn out. Use fresh herbs, flavorful cheeses, and a variety of nuts and dried fruits.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven and will result in a more compact cheese ring.
  • Bake the cheese ring until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and bubbly and that the dough is cooked through.
  • Let the cheese ring cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out and will make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the cheese ring with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple marinara sauce or a creamy ranch dressing are both great options.

Conclusion:

A cheese ring is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be served at any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can create a cheese ring that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
