Fluffy crescent rolls are stuffed with cream cheese, then baked with eggs, ham, cheese, and a touch of jalapeño for a savory, satisfying dish. It’s simple to prepare and great for feeding a crowd!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Colby Jack & cheddar blend)
  • 68 oz thick-cut ham, cubed (½ cm pieces)
  • 12 jalapeños, deseeded & finely chopped
  • 2 tsp freeze-dried parsley
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Butter (for greasing the dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter.
  2. Prepare crescent rolls:
    • Unroll the dough and separate along perforated lines.
    • Spread a small dollop of cream cheese on each triangle.
    • Roll them up and place in the dish in 2 columns of 8 rolls each.
  3. Make the egg mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk.
    • Stir in shredded cheese, ham, jalapeños, parsley, pepper, and salt.
  4. Assemble the casserole:
    • Pour the egg mixture over the crescent rolls.
    • Gently spread ingredients evenly with a fork, ensuring coverage to the edges.
    • Some crescent roll tops may peek out—that’s okay!
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes until puffy and golden. If browning too fast, cover with foil.
  6. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm & enjoy!

Notes

  • Use thick-cut ham for better texture.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for easier slicing.
  • Customize with spinach, bell peppers, or sausage instead of ham.
  • If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil while baking.
