Feed a Crowd with the Crescent Brunch Ring

Thank you Pillsbury™ for sponsoring today’s Crescent Brunch recipe!  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Spring is knocking on the door. With that also means Easter is on its way. A joyous occasion calls for a celebration with delicious food for everyone to enjoy. Feed a crowd at your Easter gathering with a Crescent Brunch Ring.

This simple brunch recipe is full of flavor and a definite crowd-pleaser. Not to mention it makes a great centerpiece for your Easter menu spread. Consider putting a decorative touch in the middle of the ring. If you like customize your brunch ring to your liking. Some people like to add more bacon or add sausage to the ingredients.

We already had many of the ingredients. We can’t get enough of Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Original Crescent Rolls. We eat them with many of our dinner meals so it was a no-brainer to make the brunch ring with a family favorite. They are always in stock at our local Walmart.

Easter isn’t the only reason to whip up a crescent brunch ring.  There are sporting events, spring break activities and end of school celebrations to be had. The list goes on, but I don’t need a reason to make this breakfast dish. I look forward to our weekly Sunday family breakfast together. This dish is now in our meal rotation.
