Ingredients

2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
16 long slices of ham {leftover works great}
2 cups shredded cheese
5 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
½ tsp seasoning salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° and spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Unroll both cans of refrigerated crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Place a slice of ham on the wide side of each triangle and roll up. Place into a prepared pan {2 rows of 8 crescents}. Top crescents with shredded cheese.
In a bowl combine eggs, milk, seasoning salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine and pour over the crescent and cheese mixture in an even layer.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the egg mixture is completely set and the top is golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

If you don't have any delicious ham, add a different kind of protein. Bacon and sausage links will both work great. In fact, this Pigs in a Blanket casserole is a family favorite.
Make this casserole vegetarian by adding cooked onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in place of the ham.
Don't have crescent rolls? No problem! You can use biscuits, croissants, or white bread cut into cubes.
Top the baked casserole with fresh herbs or green onions. Our favorite is chopped chives but fresh parsley and cilantro work well too.

Store- Cover leftovers in plastic wrap or move to an airtight container and refrigerate. This casserole will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freeze- You can also freeze this casserole for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before baking.

Reheat- To reheat this cheese breakfast casserole recipe, pop it in the oven at 350°F until it's warmed all the way through.
