Ingredients
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your casserole bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cans of crescent roll dough, 1 cup of diced ham, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 6 eggs, 1 cup of milk, salt, and pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and add the 1 cup of milk. Whisk together until well combined and smooth. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Open the cans of crescent roll dough and unroll them carefully. You will need to press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, creating a crust. Make sure to pinch the seams together to prevent any gaps.
- Evenly distribute the diced ham over the crescent roll dough crust. This will provide a savory base for your casserole.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the ham, ensuring that it covers the ham evenly for a cheesy flavor in every bite.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the ham and cheese layers in the baking dish. This will help bind all the ingredients together and create a custard-like texture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the casserole hold its shape when you serve it.
- Cut the casserole into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Ham Egg and Cheese Crescent Roll Casserole!
Tips
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to guarantee even cooking and a perfectly golden top.
- For extra flavor, consider using different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, Swiss, or a blend of cheeses.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by patting your diced ham dry before layering to remove excess moisture.
- Want to add more nutrition? Incorporate diced bell peppers, spinach, or onions into your egg mixture.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make cutting easier.
- For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning.
- Experiment with different meat options like bacon, sausage, or turkey ham to customize your casserole.
- Use a glass baking dish to help monitor the bottom crust's browning and prevent overcooking.
