Ingredients
Scale
- 2 8oz cans crescent roll
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (colby jack and cheddar)
- 6–8 ounces thick cut ham (cubed into 1/2-cm pieces)
- 1–2 whole jalapeño (deseeded and finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons freeze-dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a light layer of butter all over a 9×13 casserole dish.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough. Cut it along the perforated lines and smear a dollop of cream cheese on each triangular piece. Roll each one up.
- Place the rolled crescent rolls evenly in the casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until smooth. Mix in the shredded cheese, cubed ham, finely chopped jalapeño, parsley, pepper, and salt.
- Pour the egg mixture over the crescent rolls.
- Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, until the casserole is cooked through and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Consider using low-fat cheese or turkey ham for a lighter option. Let the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking; this helps set the eggs.
