CRESCENT EGG CASSEROLE WITH HAM
We love breakfast casseroles but most of them feature sausage, and we prefer ham. I think you'll also enjoy that this recipe looks beautiful when served, making it nice enough for brunch or company. Save yourself some time in the morning by assembling this casserole the night before. Then just add the eggs and milk in the morning and pop it in the oven. You can also experiment with many different additions, using this basic recipe as your starting point.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (or 350 degrees if using a glass pan).
- Spray 9x9 pan with non-stick spray. Unroll crescent dough and cut off about 1/4 of the dough and put aside (this dough will be used to make strips of the dough for the top of the casserole). Pat the rest of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, sealing perforations as you press down.
- On top of dough, place diced ham, shredded cheese, and green onions (or broccoli or red pepper if you prefer). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (Recipe can be prepared to this point and refrigerated).
- In a bowl, mix eggs and milk. Pour over ingredients.
- Take the reserved crescent dough and cut it into about 6 long strips. Decoratively arrange the strips of dough on top of the casserole.
- Bake 375 degrees (350 degrees if using glass) for 18-20 minutes. Important - the casserole won't be done until you notice that the casserole is puffing up slightly, indicating that the eggs are cooking and expanding. You can also insert a knife in the center and make sure it's clean before removing from the oven.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients. Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
- Use a large skillet. A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the eggs and vegetables without overcrowding them. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Eggs can easily become overcooked and rubbery. Cook them just until they are set, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like.
- Season to taste. Be sure to season the eggs and vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately. This casserole is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This cheesy egg crescent roll casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. It is perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time.
