Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet For the crust
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl For the egg mixture
- 1 Knife For bacon and parsley
- 1 Cutting Board For bacon and parsley
Ingredients
Main
- 1 can 8 oz Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1 box 9 oz Green Giant® frozen roasted potatoes with garlic & herbs
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 8 slices packaged precooked bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 6 oz
- Salt and pepper if desired
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven as directed and prepare a baking sheet.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a rectangle or square shape on the prepared baking sheet, sealing seams.
- Bake the crust for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, heat the frozen roasted potatoes according to package directions and prepare the precooked bacon into pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Remove the partially baked crust from the oven.
- Evenly scatter the heated potatoes and bacon pieces over the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the potatoes and bacon.
- Carefully and evenly pour the whisked egg mixture over the toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
Notes
Pre-baking the crescent roll crust slightly before adding wet ingredients prevents it from becoming soggy. Ensure the frozen potatoes are fully heated according to package directions before adding them to the pizza. Don't overload the pizza with toppings; this allows the egg mixture to set properly and bind everything together. Season the egg mixture carefully, considering the saltiness of the bacon and cheese. Fresh parsley brightens the dish significantly.
