How to make Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

This Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole is delicious! Learn how to make this easy breakfast recipe with my tips and tricks below. Each crescent roll is stuffed with cream cheese before being baked with eggs, ham and cheese.

Ingredients:

2 8oz cans crescent roll

4 ounces cream cheese

6 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

2 cup shredded cheese – I used colby jack and cheddar

6-8 ounces thick cut ham – cubed into ½-cm pieces

1-2 whole jalapeño – deseeded and finely chopped

2 teaspoons freeze-dried parsley

½ teaspoon ground pepper

½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°C / 190°C.

Spread a light layer of butter all over a 9×13 casserole dish.

Unroll the crescent roll dough. Cut along the perforated lines. Smear a dollop of cream cheese on each crescent roll triangle. Then roll each one up.

Place the crescent rolls evenly in the casserole dish. I made 2 columns of 8 rolls each.

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Mix in the shredded cheese, ham, jalapeño, parsley, pepper and salt. It will be a chunky mixture.

Pour everything over the crescent rolls, as evenly and carefully as you can. Using your hands or a fork, gently distribute all the ingredients. Make sure everything is evenly distributed, all the way to the edge. The mixture should just about cover the crescent rolls. You may have some of the crescent roll tops poking out. That is ok.

Bake in the middle oven rack for about 30-40 minutes, until cooked through. The entire casserole will be puffy and golden brown. If it browns too quickly in your oven, cover it with a foil.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this casserole ahead of time and bake it later, or does it need to be baked immediately after assembly?

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of the colby jack and cheddar blend?

Yes, you can use a different type of cheese or cheese blend in place of the colby jack and cheddar.

Consider using cheeses like mozzarella, Swiss, pepper jack, or a cheese blend that you prefer or have on hand.

Can I make this casserole vegetarian by omitting the ham or using a meat substitute?

Absolutely! If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the ham or replace it with a meat substitute of your choice, such as vegetarian bacon, vegetarian sausage crumbles, or tofu.

Adjust the seasonings accordingly to maintain the desired flavor profile.

Can I prepare this casserole without using the jalapeño if I don’t want it to be spicy?

This way, you can customize the level of spiciness according to your taste preferences.

Can I use a different type of meat instead of ham, such as bacon or sausage?

Yes, you can use a different type of meat like bacon or sausage instead of ham.

Cook and crumble the bacon or sausage before adding it to the egg and cheese mixture.

Can I make individual portions of the casserole instead of a large casserole dish?
