Southwest Baked Egg Breakfast Pastry

When you have some left over breakfast ingredients and crescent roll pastry, it's time to through it all together to make a Southwest Baked Egg Breakfast Pastry.

Sometimes, I look in my cooler and think I have a good idea. "Hey, there's some ham to finish off." "I've got a few eggs." "We didn't finish all the crescent pastry when we made hotdogs." "When did I make this pico de gallo?" That's when I come up with a recipe with the sole aim of consuming as many leftovers as possible. Such an approach is the origin of many a classic recipe over the centuries. So, I thought I would try an experiment which I call the Southwest Baked Egg Breakfast Pastry because it really is just a bunch of stuff I threw together.

Dutch Oven Breakfast Ring

We had a left over tube of crescents and slices of ham, so we decided to bring those two together to make a fun and tasty breakfast combo: the Dutch Oven Breakfast Ring

Traveling on the road, even when it's the two of us, can get kinda lonesome. I have a brilliant, kind, rational, hard-working, funny, and adventurous travel companion.

So, when I can convince a friend to join us for a few days, I get really excited. And I express this excitement with cooking. (That and, I want them to have so much fun eating and exploring with us that they will join us again.) So, once I had the confirmation that some friends would be visiting for a long weekend, I started launched into overdrive to come up with some memorable recipes. Of course, I made the Campfire Bacon And Eggs Hash. But for this special occasion, I also concocted the Dutch Oven Breakfast Ring.

Hiker’s Bacon Baked Potato Boat Breakfast

Stoke up that fire for an amazingly delicious Hiker's Bacon And Egg Potato Boat Breakfast

So, back in the Tetons, I learned that I am not good at cooking fried eggs over the fire. Honestly, I'm just not good at frying eggs. It comes down to a matter of getting the heat and temperature right so that the egg whites are cooked through but the egg yolk hasn't congealed into some chalky mess. So, I am continually searching for breakfast recipes that introduce some buffer between eggs and pan.
