After getting my mind blown away with all the different recipes you can create with a crescent rolls tube, I’m back at it with a big winner. Last week I made the Orange Blood Cinnamon Rolls, well this week I present to you Prosciutto Asparagus Eggs Crescent Squares! OH MY GOD! That’s exactly what I said after taking my first bite, no joke! HA! After seeing so many recipes on Pinterest I decided to make my own twist using two of my favorite ingredients, prosciutto & asparagus. The mister absolutely loved them. Win-win in this house. The crescent dough really brings in a great texture and flavor. I shared a tease on Instagram and someone asked if this was a breakfast pizza. I think this could totally be called that! Love how the possibilities are endless with this type of recipe. Learn how to make it below!
Prosciutto Asparagus Eggs Crescent Squares! (aka Breakfast Pizza)
4 eggs
1 8oz can of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 slices of prosciutto (or more if you’re feeling rebellious)
4-5 asparagus spears
1/4 Parmesan cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
Splash of extra virgin olive oil
Optional* crushed red pepper flakes
Pre-heat oven to 375°. In a skillet, heat 1/2 inch water to boiling. Add asparagus; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain. Seasoned with a little bit of salt and pepper plus a splash of olive oil. Remember these are going in the oven too so they will get crispy in there. Unroll dough on a cookie sheet; separate in the middle and firmly press all perforations to seal creating two squares. Fold up the edges of each square to make sure eggs don’t run out of it. Crack two eggs into the middle of each dough square. Place your prosciutto slice across the eggs on each square. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and salt, and pepper to taste. Top it off with your cooked asparagus and sprinkle with pepper flakes. Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes, or when the dough is looking golden and your eggs are fully cooked. If you like your eggs to be runny cook them for less time. How easy is that? I cannot wait to try different variations of this. What do you think? Will you be making this soon? What else have you cooked using a crescent rolls tube? Bon Appetite friends!
