Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 4 ounces cooked ham, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat milk and cream cheese together until smooth. Mix in eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat and cook egg mixture until eggs are almost set.

Step 3

Arrange crescent rolls from one package into a rectangle shape on top of a lightly greased cookie sheet. Place rolls from remaining package along the edges of the two long sides of the rectangle, with the broad half of rolls on top of the first layer of rolls, and the pointed ends extending over the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Arrange ham in a layer down the center of dough. Spoon cooked egg mixture on top of ham and then sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top of eggs. Bring the corners of the rolls together over cheese to form a "braid" shape.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and rolls are golden brown.
