Does anyone know of a "brunch" filling for the rings/wreaths/braids? Thanks :)
 
I don't know of any specific PC ones, but I make an awesome one with hash browns, eggs, milk, green chiles and cheese. I throw everything into a skillet and heat until the eggs and hash browns are cooked, then fill the crust (I always do a braid, but the shape doesn't matter obviously) and bake. YUMMY! Now I am craving one!

So I am guessing that you could really do any combination of ingredients, thinking of an omelet, and then scoop that on to the cresent rolls and braid and bake?

Thank you so much Colleen!! I thought I had seen a recipe for it listed/mentioned on here before!
 
I made the ham N egg braid once and liked it, but I substituted sausage the next time and I won't go back to ham, so much better.

Good call! Do you think I can use brown and serve?
 
I make mine just like the recipe only with sausage. I bake it just as long and everything.
 
There is another brunch filling in the All The Best cookbook, that has veggies in it. I left my ATB cookbook at a host's house a couple weeks ago, and still haven't gone to pick it up - or I would post it. It is very good, and usually I use this recipe and just toss some breakfast meat in too.
 
OMG! I just happen to have ATB with me to copy a recipe for a host.

Garden Vegetable Omelet (filling for ring)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup milk
1 Tb. all-purpose flour
8 eggs, divided
1 tsp. Pantry All-Purpose Dill Mix
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 lb. fresh asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch pieces (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 Tb. butter or margarine
1/2 cup (2 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375°. In classic batter bowl, whick cream cheese and milk; add flour and whisk until smooth. Separate 1 egg; reserve egg white. Add the yolk, remaining 7 eggs, dill mix, salt and black pepper to cream cheese mixture; whick until smooth. Add asparagus, bell pepper and onion to batter bowl; mix well.

Melt butter in Family Skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, 4-6 minutes or until eggs are set but still moist. Remove pan from heat. Scoop filling evenly over desired shape (crescent rolls); sprinkle with cheese. Finish shape as directed. Brush with remaining egg white. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
 
You are a STAR Ann!!!

I have used the Asparagus, and I have also subbed Broccoli for Asparagus - both are good.
 
Mushrooms are good, too.

I made the Apple Danish braid for a brunch show I did not too long ago. It was a hit!!

Just another idea...
