- Crescent Rolls: 1 can (8 rolls)
- Cream Cheese: 4 oz, softened
- Eggs: 6 large
- Milk: 1 cup
- Ham: 1 cup, cubed (or substitute with your preferred protein)
- Shredded Cheese: 1 cup (e.g., Colby Jack, Cheddar)
- Jalapeños: 1-2, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
- Herbs and Seasonings:
- Freeze-dried parsley: 1 tsp
- Sea salt: 1/2 tsp
- Black pepper: 1/4 tsp
- Butter (for greasing the pan): 1 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9×13-inch casserole dish generously.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Open the crescent roll dough and unroll. Place a dollop of softened cream cheese inside each triangle, then roll them up and arrange them in the greased dish.
- Layer Ingredients: Evenly distribute the cubed ham and shredded cheese over the crescent rolls.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add chopped jalapeños if desired for extra heat.
- Pour Over Rolls: Gently pour the egg mixture over the crescent rolls, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
