Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 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 ½-cm pieces
  • 1-2 whole jalapeño deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons freeze-dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • 9x13 Casserole Dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  2. Spread a light layer of butter all over a 9x13 casserole dish.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough. Cut along the perforated lines. Smear a dollop of cream cheese on each crescent roll triangle. Then roll each one up.
  4. Place the crescent rolls evenly in the casserole dish. I made 2 columns of 8 rolls each.
  5. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Mix in the shredded cheese, ham, jalapeño, parsley, pepper and salt. It will be a chunky mixture.
  6. Pour everything over the crescent rolls, as evenly and carefully as you can. Using your hands or a fork, gently distribute all the ingredients. Make sure everything is evenly distributed, all the way to the edge.
  7. Bake in the middle oven rack for about 30-40 minutes, until cooked through. The entire casserole will be puffy and golden brown. If it browns too quickly in your oven, cover it with a foil.

Notes

This breakfast casserole is versatile and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Consider adding other vegetables or swapping the ham for bacon or sausage.
