Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
  • 4 oz cream cheese

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Colby Jack and Cheddar blend)
  • 6–8 oz thick-cut ham, cubed
  • 1–2 jalapeños, deseeded and chopped
  • Seasonings: parsley, ground pepper, sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish thoroughly with butter to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and spread a small amount of cream cheese onto each triangle. Carefully roll up each triangle to encase the cream cheese inside.
  3. Arrange Dough: Place the rolled crescent dough pieces upright in two neat columns inside the greased casserole dish, ensuring an even layer for the base.
  4. Mix Egg Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the six eggs and whole milk until fully combined. Stir in the shredded cheese, cubed ham, chopped jalapeños, chopped parsley, ground pepper, and sea salt, balancing seasoning to taste.
  5. Combine and Bake: Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the arranged crescent rolls in the casserole dish, making sure it seeps between the rolls.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeño quantity based on desired spice level.
  • You can substitute ham with cooked sausage or bacon for variation.
  • Use low-fat milk and cheese to reduce calories if preferred.
  • Let the casserole rest a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.
  • This casserole can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving.
