Flatten the wide ends of the dough. Place the egg mixture over the wider sides of the dough in a circle. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs.
Pull the narrow ends of the dough over the filling and tuck the points under the dough to form a ring.

Tips
This recipe serves a lot---it is easily halved! My images and video show a half size recipe which fed my family of 5 every time!
If you have never made a crescent ring it is easy! Just lay out the wide edges and make a circle with the wide edges overlapping.
Variations
- Cheese - Colby Jack is a mild option, but go with whatever cheese you like!
- Veggies - If your family is not fans of onions and peppers, leave them out! I usually do with my family as some just aren't fans.
- Spice - Add Pepper Jack cheese and serve with salsa! So good!
