Slow-Cooker Denver Omelet Breakfast Pie image

This is no basic breakfast, even though it's filled with the classic flavors of a Denver omelet. This slow-cooker breakfast pie is made with a Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dough sheet as the crust, and gets filled with an eggy mixture that folds in ham, mushrooms, green pepper, onion and Cheddar cheese. The result is a savory, satisfying and surprising morning meal that feels deliciously familiar but new at the same time.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped ham
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
6 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Chopped fresh chives, if desired

Steps:

  • Spray 5- to 6-quart oval slow cooker (with removable insert) with cooking spray. Unroll crescent dough; press evenly into bottom of insert and at least 1 inch up sides, working dough as needed to ensure even thickness all around.
  • In medium bowl, mix mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, ham and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Spread half of the mixture on top of crescent dough.
  • In 4-cup glass measuring cup, beat eggs, salt and pepper flakes until well mixed. Carefully pour half of the beaten eggs on top of ham and vegetable mixture, making sure egg stays inside crescent-lined bottom. Add remaining ham and vegetable mixture; pour remaining beaten eggs on top. With spatula, gently press filling mixture into beaten eggs. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  • Cover top of insert with large kitchen towel folded in half. Place lid on top of towel. (This will prevent condensation from dripping onto crescent during cooking.) Cook on Low heat setting 1 1/2 hours. Leaving cover on, rotate insert 180 degrees, and continue cooking 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until eggs are set and crescent is deep golden brown around edges. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
  • To serve, cut into pieces; garnish with chives.

I'm always looking for new breakfast recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. It's easy to make, delicious, and a great way to start the day.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of leftover vegetables and eggs that I needed to use up, and this pie was the perfect way to do it. It was easy to make and tasted great.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a smaller pie plate so that the pie would be thicker. I would also add more cheese and vegetables.

The eggs were overcooked and the vegetables were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pie was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have added more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of eggs, but I really enjoyed this pie. The vegetables and cheese balanced out the eggs perfectly.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great. I used a 9-inch pie plate and it was the perfect size. The eggs were cooked evenly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy.

I'm not usually a fan of breakfast pies, but this one was surprisingly good. The combination of eggs, cheese, and vegetables was perfect. I especially liked the addition of the sour cream and salsa.
