Introduction

This Indian Crescent Ring is a delightful fusion of flaky crescent dough filled with flavorful spiced scrambled eggs. Perfect for breakfast or a light meal, it combines the warmth of Indian spices with the comforting texture of pastry.

A round, golden-brown pastry with eight thick, triangular layers arranged like flower petals, each layer showing a textured filling of scrambled eggs mixed with green herbs and small pieces of red bell pepper inside. In the center of the pastry is a small white bowl filled with smooth, deep red ketchup. The round dish rests on a white marbled surface, surrounded by some small decorations including three brown eggs in a white dish at the top left, orange and gold berries, a pink textured cloth, a small pumpkin, and a red maple leaf.

Ingredients

6 Organic Eggs
1 Onion
1 Green Chili Pepper
1 Tomato
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/4 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
8 ounce Crescent Roll Dough
Oil, as needed
Salt, as needed
1 handful Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2: Crack open 5 eggs into a bowl, discard the shells, and whisk the eggs well. Set aside.
Step 3: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, avoiding browning.
Step 4: Add chopped green chili, diced tomato, and salt to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.
Step 5: Stir in chili powder and ground turmeric, sauté for another 2 minutes.
Step 6: Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring continuously, until fully scrambled and cooked through (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 7: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangular sheets onto a plate.
Step 8: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and set a small bowl in the center as a guide for the ring.
Step 9: Arrange the triangular dough pieces around the bowl, with the shorter sides touching the bowl and overlapping slightly, the pointed ends facing outward, forming a sun shape.
Step 10: Spoon the scrambled egg mixture onto the wider part of the dough triangles around the bowl in a ring shape.
Step 11: Remove the bowl carefully. Fold each pointed end over the filling and tuck it under the dough on the inner ring to seal the filling inside.
Step 12: Transfer the parchment paper with the crescent ring onto a baking tray. Use the remaining egg to prepare an egg wash and brush it over the dough.
Step 13: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 14: Garnish with extra fresh cilantro and serve warm, optionally with ketchup.

Tips & Variations

Add finely chopped bell peppers or peas to the egg filling for more texture and color.
Use a mild chili or omit it if you prefer less heat.
Brush the ring with sesame seeds before baking for extra crunch and flavor.
Serve with a side of mango chutney or yogurt for an authentic Indian twist.

Storage

Store any leftover crescent ring in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A round savory pastry shaped like a flower with eight golden-brown folded crust petals arranged in a circle, each petal revealing a filling of scrambled eggs mixed with green herbs and bits of red peppers underneath. In the center is a small white bowl filled with thick, bright red ketchup. The whole dish sits on a white marbled surface, surrounded by autumn decorations including a large green and orange pumpkin, clusters of small yellow and orange berries, a piece of pink textured cloth, three brown eggs resting in a small white square dish, and a red maple leaf near the top right corner.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe vegan?

This recipe relies on eggs and crescent dough which often contains dairy. To make a vegan version, use a plant-based crescent dough and substitute the eggs with scrambled tofu seasoned with similar spices.

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes, the spiced scrambled egg filling can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated. Warm slightly before assembling to make folding easier.
