Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

A delightful and versatile casserole combining flaky crescent rolls, creamy cheese, and hearty ingredients for a comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 8oz cans of crescent roll
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread a light layer of butter all over a 9×13 casserole dish.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it along the perforated lines. Smear a dollop of cream cheese on each triangular piece, then roll each one up.
  4. Place the rolled crescent rolls evenly in the casserole dish.
  5. 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.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the casserole dish.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, until the casserole is cooked through and golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an extra kick, leave a few seeds in the jalapeño; experiment with different cheeses or add veggies for added nutrition.
