Well, this was delicious. However, I only had 4 slices of bacon on hand, and so, that is what I used, and it adequately covered the crescent base--I really think any more would've been overkill and made the dish way too salty. I used American cheese slices and added sliced fresh Baby Bella mushrooms atop the bacon, and also added a little black pepper and paprika to the egg mixture. When it came out of the oven, I drizzled on some Taco Bell Avocado Ranch sauce, and we REALLY enjoyed this savory little egg bake. (It cuts very nicely as well.) I imagine you could substitute ham, sausage, or even steak for the bacon, or add or substitute other goodies such as chopped spinach, bell peppers, or fresh asparagus. This is a recipe you can really get creative with, and I wouldn't hesitate to serve it to company. Will definitely be making this again...
