Best 2 Sunrise Crescent Rolls Recipes

BREAKFAST CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the tater tots on a baking sheet and bake until just golden brown and crispy, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off the bacon drippings and reserve 2 tablespoons. Add 1 tablespoon of the drippings and the sausage to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Cook, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and brown in some spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Return the skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of bacon drippings. Once hot and shimmering, add the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, with a rubber spatula, until soft and fluffy and almost completely cooked through but still a bit runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean large bowl.
• Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
• Spoon the egg mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Sprinkle the sausage on top of the eggs then sprinkle the bacon over the sausage. Cover the bacon with the American and Cheddar cheese. Top with the potato tots and remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely but should cover the tater tots). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the filling).
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with maple syrup, ketchup, hot sauce or white gravy if desired.

SUNRISE CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Instructions: Spray Pam on an 8 or 9" round cake pan and preheat oven to 350.
• Unroll Crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Place a knife-full of cream cheese on each roll, extending from side-to-side and about 1/3 of the way from the flat end.
• Then spread about 2 t. Orange Marmalade from the cream cheese to the long thin point, covering about 2/3 of the roll.
• Starting from the pointed tip where you have the orange marmalade, roll up each Crescent.
• Place Crescents, seam-side down, in a spoke fashion in the round pan (see photo). You will have all 8 Crescents coming together in the middle. Press them together lightly, and add a bit more cream cheese and orange marmalade in the center area.
• Bake 350 for 20 minutes.
• Icing: Melt 1 t. or so of orange marmalade in microwave; stir in Confectioners Sugar. Drizzle over cooled rolls.
