These look so delicious! I am always looking for new breakfast ideas.
Love recipes that you can prep part of it ahead of time. Now if I could only find a way to bake them ahead of time and still keep them warm and crispy!
I’ve made these several times and freeze them for my husband’s breakfast on the way to work. I found the perfect way to reheat them and still have them come out warm and crispy.
I bake them as directed then let them cool. I wrap them individually in parchment paper and place in zippy bag and freeze.
When I need one I take one from freezer and microwave for 15 seconds, leaving the parchment paper on (It will still be slightly cold to the touch)
Next, again leaving the parchment paper on, I put it in the toaster oven. My oven has a defrost setting that is approximately between 150 and 300 degrees. I leave it in there for about 10 minutes until my husband is ready to leave for work.
They reheat very well and taste just like they were fresh baked!!
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Let me tell you something, this recipe is perfect for our busy lives. Plus it’s fool proof for my husband to make. Thanks…
These look SO good! What a great breakfast choice!!!
What a cool breakfast idea! I love finding new ways to get creative with breakfast. I’m going to make this over the weekend, my kids will love it!

Ugh! This is really yummy!!! Good for breakfast. I should try this in some other tiime.
Do you cook the eggs before putting them in the muffin tin.
Yes, you scramble them before adding to the dough.
Is a serving 1 or 2 crescents? I know it says 8 made, but you didn’t say how many per serving?
Hi Mary, one serving each. I will update to make it clear. If course, you can eat as many as you wish! Enjoy!
What happens if I don’t scramble the eggs first?
Hi, they will not cook properly.
