CRESCENT EGG CASSEROLE WITH HAM

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.

HAM AND CHEESE CRESCENT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish lightly or spray with Pam or similar product.
• 2. Unroll one tube of crescent rolls. Fully cover bottom of 9 x 13 dish, making sure there are no holes or perferations in dough. Dough can rise slightly up the side of dish if necessary.
• 3. Cover dough with layers of ham. Amount of ham is your choice. More than a single layer is desirable in my opinion.
• 4. Cover ham layer with a single layer of good cheese.
• 5. Beat eggs, milk, and seasonings as you would for scrambled eggs. Pour genltly over cheese layer.
• 6. Pleace triangles of crescent dough over egg mixture. I often do not use all eight triangles. Leave enough space between triangles to determine if eggs are set. Bake for 30 minutes until crescent rolls are nicely browned and eggs are set.
• 7. If you wish to bake a smaller amount, use 8 x 8 dish, and divide ingredients in half, using 4 eggs.
