Potatoes, green peppers, and ham make this Croissant Breakfast Ring quite hearty and tasty! It’s the brunch take on a classic Denver Breakfast Skillet!
Breakfast for Dinner Anyone?
Sometimes you just want the comfort of breakfast food in the evening.
Am I right?
Really, I don’t know that there isn’t a day when pancakes don’t sound like a viable dinner option. Most of the time we try to make respectable meals, but it’s always fun to give in to the desire to mix things up every once in a while.
What does breakfast for dinner mean in your house?
Does it mean pancakes or French toast? Maybe eggs and bacon. Or, maybe, something even more out of the ordinary.
Since we have a difficult time making important decisions (like waffles or eggs), we’ve combined the breakfast bread or egg dilemma in this Denver Breakfast Ring.
Our Croissant Breakfast Ring: Denver Breakfast Skillet Style
Recalling an egg scrambler he had eaten years past, Tim came up with the filling of potatoes, green peppers, ham, and eggs for this breakfast ring that we wrapped in a fluffy croissant blanket.
Savory. Hearty. Fluffy.
Who can ever resist a croissant? Much less when it’s filled with cheese and other goodies!
Denver Breakfast Ring
Ingredients
- ½ tsp salted butter
- 1/3 c onion, diced
- 1/3 c green pepper, diced
- 1 small potato, peeled and diced
- ½ c cooked ham, cut into small cubes
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 3 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp garlic
- ½ tsp salt
- Dash ground black pepper
- 1 can refrigerated croissant dough
- ½ c sharp cheddar cheese , shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a medium, non-stick frying pan, heat butter over medium high heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté 3 minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Reduce heat to medium and add potatoes and ham. Cook 7-10 minutes, until potatoes are soft. Remove ham mixture from the pan to a bowl and set aside.
- In another bowl beat eggs with seasonings. Pour beaten eggs into hot frying pan. Stir often with a rubber spatula to scramble eggs while cooking. Remove from heat when firm.
- Unroll croissants from their can and place triangles on a circular pizza pan with the points facing out and the bases overlapping, to form an 8-pointed star. You will have a lot of dough overlap towards the middle and a hole in the center. Use the dough overlap to press the dough together to fill in the hole.
- Spread the cooked eggs in a circle on the dough. Top eggs with ham mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
- Gently fold the points in and press the dough together at the center of the ring.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Until the croissants are browned and firm.

I have looked everywhere for canned croissants; do you mean the refrigerated crescent rolls? There is a pretty big difference between the two. Thank you

Hi Laura, Thanks for your comment. Yes, we do mean the refrigerated croissant dough. We have updated the recipe with the clarification. Best!

This is SUCH a good idea! I'd never have thought of wrapping an omelet in pastry, which is bizarre because I'm a pastry fiend. If I didn't worry about my arteries, I'd just bake pie crust and eat it by itself. This looks incredible.
