For each rectangle, roll edges toward center to form 1/2-inch rimmed edge around each.

Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until edges of crescent dough are golden brown and egg whites and yolks are firm (not runny).
Why this Crescent Breakfast Pies works for PCOS
Eating a substantial breakfast like this Crescent Breakfast Pies is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
