Ingredients
  

  • Main Ingredients:
  • 1 cooked chicken breast shredded or chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 refrigerated crescent dough sheet or puff pastry
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional Add-Ins:
  • Diced bell peppers
  • Sautéed onions or spinach
  • Crumbled bacon or sausage
  • Dash of hot sauce or salsa for extra flavor

Method
 

  1. Cook the Filling:
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk. Heat a skillet with butter or oil, pour in the eggs, and scramble until just set.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the scrambled eggs, chicken, cheddar, and mozzarella. Stir in any optional mix-ins you like.
  4. Assemble the Braid:
  5. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press it slightly to flatten.
  6. Cut Strips: Using a knife or kitchen scissors, cut 1-inch slits on each side of the dough, leaving a solid strip down the middle.
  7. Add the Filling: Spoon the egg and chicken mixture evenly down the center.
  8. Braid the Dough: Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid. Tuck the ends underneath to seal it.
  9. Bake and Serve:
  10. Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Cool and Slice: Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
