½ cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 ounces cooked ham, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

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

Place rolls from remaining package along the edges of the two long sides of the rectangle, with the broad half of the rolls on top of the first layer of rolls, and the pointed ends extending over the sides of the pan.
  • Arrange the ham in a layer down the center of the dough. Spoon the cooked egg mixture on top of the ham and then sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the eggs. Bring the corners of the rolls together over the cheese to form a 'braid' shape.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and rolls are golden brown.

Tips for a Perfect Cheese and Egg Breakfast Braid:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and flaky puff pastry will make all the difference in the flavor of your braid.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Be gentle when rolling it out and braiding it.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape in the oven.
  • Brush the braid with egg wash: Egg wash will give the braid a golden brown color and help it stay moist.
  • Bake the braid until it is golden brown: The braid should be baked until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
