Introduction

Indian Crescent Ring is a delightful fusion dish combining spiced scrambled eggs with flaky crescent roll dough. This easy-to-make recipe delivers a flavorful, visually striking appetizer or snack that’s perfect for sharing.

The image shows a round savory pastry shaped like a flower with eight golden-brown puff pastry petals, each petal folded to reveal a textured filling inside that looks like scrambled eggs mixed with green herbs and small bits of red. In the center of the flower-shaped pastry, there is a small white bowl filled with bright red ketchup. The pastry sits on a white marbled surface. To the left of the pastry, there is a white square dish holding three brown eggs with red stamps on them. Around the dish and pastry, there are autumn decorations including two pumpkins, yellow-orange berries, a red maple leaf, and a reddish-pink cloth draped partially under the pastry and the pumpkins. The lighting is bright and natural, giving the pastry a warm and appealing look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Crack 5 eggs into a bowl, whisk them well, and set aside.
Step 3: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent but not browned. Add diced green chili pepper, tomato, and salt; cook for 2 more minutes.
Step 4: Stir in chili powder and ground turmeric, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Step 5: Pour in the whisked eggs and cook while stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Step 6: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangular sheets onto a plate.
Step 7: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and put a small bowl in the center as a guide.
Step 8: Arrange the crescent triangles around the bowl in a ring shape with the shorter sides touching the bowl and overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends facing outward, resembling a sun.
Step 9: Spoon the scrambled egg filling onto the wider parts of the dough triangles around the bowl.
Step 10: Remove the bowl. Fold each pointed end over the filling, tucking it securely under the dough on the inner ring.
Step 11: Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the ring onto a baking tray. Prepare an egg wash with the remaining egg and brush it over the dough.
Step 12: Bake for 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with ketchup.

Tips & Variations

Use mild or hot green chili peppers depending on your spice preference.
Add finely chopped garlic or ginger for additional depth of flavor.
Serve with a side of yogurt or chutney for a cooling contrast.
Try adding shredded cheese on top before baking for a cheesy twist.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in an oven or toaster oven to maintain the crispness of the crescent dough.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe vegan?

This recipe relies on eggs and crescent dough which usually contains dairy, so it’s not vegan as written. You can try substituting scrambled tofu for the eggs and look for vegan crescent dough alternatives.

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes, the spiced scrambled egg filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for a day. Rewarm gently before assembling the crescent ring to prevent sogginess.
