Scrambled Egg Brunch Bread

This Scrambled Egg Brunch Bread is so easy to throw together with crescent roll dough.  It gets filled with layers of ham, scrambled eggs and cheese for a hearty breakfast treat that is perfect for entertaining.

My obsession with crescent rolls is evident with all the recipes I’ve been concocting lately.  I just cant get enough of that crispy, flaky outer layer that can be used for the basis of so many different  savory or sweet creations.  I love using the dough for breakfast pastries and now, for this scrumptious brunch bread that I will be making again for Easter brunch.

Your guests will think you spent all day in the kitchen with this flaky delight.  It is easily, created by sealing together 2 packs of crescent rolls.  Layer them together vertically in the middle of a cookie sheet, cut 1″ horizontal slits along both ends and add your ham, egg and cheese layers.  Make a vegetarian version by skipping the ham and adding a bit of your favorite veggies to your scrambled eggs.

In breaking news, my picky kiddos actually enjoyed this Scrambled Egg Brunch Bread.  That is pretty miraculous, since they take after me with their preference for all things sweet.  I usually eat plain oatmeal with fruit throughout the week in preparation for sweet, carby goodness on the weekends. 

We love all things pancake and french toast around here.  Buttermilk Blueberry Waffles and Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes are a couple of our favorites.

Don’t forget to add a yummy Peach Pie Bellini or Pineapple Orange Creamsicle Mimosa to your brunch menu.  An Easy Fruit Pizza with sugar cookie dough is another favorite that is sure to impress!
