Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs

- Kosher salt
- Garlic powder
- Ground black pepper
- Crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
- Cooked diced ham (or crumbled sausage/bacon)
- Shredded cheddar cheese

How to Make a Crescent Breakfast Ring in the Air Fryer
Step 1 – Scramble the Eggs
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs (whisked with a splash of water, salt, garlic powder, and pepper) and cook until scrambled. Remove from heat.
Step 2 – Arrange the Dough
Line your air fryer basket with foil. Separate the crescent dough into triangles and place them in a ring shape around the basket, slightly overlapping, with the wider side facing outward.
Step 3 – Add the Filling
Spoon the scrambled eggs onto the dough. Layer with diced ham and shredded cheese.
Step 4 – Fold and Seal
Bring the pointed ends of the dough triangles over the filling and tuck them under the center of the ring. Don’t worry if some filling peeks through. Brush the top with melted butter.
Step 5 – Air Fry
Cook at 320°F for 8–10 minutes or until the dough is puffed and golden brown. Let it rest for 1–2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Storing & Reheating
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
- Freeze fully cooked ring for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in the air fryer or oven.
Variations to Try
- Switch up the protein: Use crispy bacon or sausage instead of ham.
- Add veggies: Toss in sautéed peppers, onions, or spinach with the eggs.
- Cheese lovers: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or a mix of your favorites.
