Check out this amazing Mexican Breakfast Braid from Flavors By Four. It caught my eye at Weekend Potluck, and I knew I had to make it and SOON!
I have never worked with Chorizo sausage before. It’s a bit greasier than I expected, but after draining it, it was no problem! And talk about flavorful! It made this recipe so unique in taste. Almost like taco seasoned sausage!
I know this looks complicated, but it really is not! Destiny helped me make this one……
Mexican Breakfast Braid
adapted from Flavors By Four

Ingredients
- 1 can {8 Oz} Pillsbury Seamless Dough
- 5 whole Large Eggs
- 10 ounces, weight Pork Chorizo
- 2 whole Jalapenos Diced
- 4 Tablespoons Red Pepper, Diced
- 1-½ cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
- Sour Cream
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 375*. Lay out dough to begin to bring to room temperature while you fry up your sausage.
Chop with your spatula as you cook your Chorizo, then drain. Using the same skillet, scramble 5 eggs with salt and pepper.
Spread dough out on a cookie sheet or baking stone and cut strips up each side, leaving the center 4 inches untouched. Sprinkle cheese down center, followed by eggs, meat, one or both peppers, and more cheese.
Taking cut strips of dough, gently stretch and crisscross along the entire length of dough, tucking in as you go.
Bake for 15 minutes, serve hot with sour cream garnish.
Enjoy your yummy breakfast!

Hi Tonya!
Just wanted to mention that homemade dough would be really easy and then you can avoid the scary ingredients in the Pillsbury pre-made stuff. 🙂

Yes, I agree 100%! I have 2 recipes that use crescents that I have yet to replace, the other being the crust of our families favorite, Taco Pie. I much prefer whole wheat, {and homemade for that matter!} but have no idea what kind of dough I should be making for these dishes. Do you have a recipe for me? 🙂
Yes, I love this one!

oh this sounds amazing! you might be able to try a dough like this, as it bakes up similarly (but not exactly as) crescent rolls. http://lifeasmom.com/2010/04/chocolate-butterhorns-perfect-for-freezing-perfect-for-anytime.html
Thank you!
If you are looking for a good crescent roll recipe these are AMAZING! And, they freeze great too. It makes a REALLY big batch tho. So be ready for it.:)
