16 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans of crescent rolls 16 rolls total
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 c. whole milk
- 2 c. shredded cheese I used colby jack and cheddar
- 6-8 oz. thick-cut ham cubed into ½-cm pieces
- 1-2 whole jalapeños deseeded and finely chopped
- 2 tsp. freeze-dried parsley
- ½ tsp. ground pepper
- ½ tsp. sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish measuring 9x13 inches.
- Take the crescent roll dough. Cut it along the lines. Spread a dollop of cream cheese, on each triangle of dough. Roll them up.
- Arrange the crescent rolls in the casserole dish making two rows with 8 rolls in each row.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the cheese, ham, jalapeño, parsley, pepper and salt to create a mixture with some texture.
- Gently pour the mixture over the crescent rolls ensuring that it is evenly distributed. Use your hands or a fork to spread the ingredients towards the edges so that they cover most of the rolls. It's okay if some of the tops of the crescent rolls are peeking out.
- Place in your oven rack. Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes until it becomes puffy and golden brown. If it starts browning you can cover it with foil.
