Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1 can of crescent rolls
- 1 cup of diced ham
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- ½ cup of chopped bell peppers
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup of milk
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and lay out the entire can of crescent rolls, pressing the seams together to create a smooth base that covers the entire bottom.
- Crack 6 eggs into a large mixing bowl and pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking until completely blended and slightly frothy.
- Fold 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 cup of diced ham, and ½ cup of chopped bell peppers into the egg mixture, stirring until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper across the mixture, then gently stir to incorporate the seasonings.
- Carefully pour the entire egg mixture over the crescent roll base, ensuring an even spread across the dish.
- Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and firm, set eggs.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes, allowing the dish to settle and make cutting easier.
Notes
- Swap out ham for cooked bacon or sausage to customize the flavor profile and keep things interesting.
- Chop vegetables extra fine to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the casserole and cook thoroughly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking so it sets up and becomes easier to slice into neat portions.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the ham with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or diced zucchini to maintain moisture and texture.
