Print Recipe

A comforting and simple breakfast casserole featuring a buttery crescent roll crust, fluffy eggs, savory ham, and melty Swiss cheese. Perfect for busy mornings or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz / 226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or 2%
  • 1 cup (about 5 oz / 140 g) diced deli ham
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese (about 6 oz / 170 g)
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and press the triangles together firmly on a lightly floured surface to form one solid sheet. Transfer this dough sheet into the bottom of the greased casserole dish, pressing evenly to cover the base and slightly up the sides.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until smooth and lightly frothy. Season with garlic powder, salt (about ½ teaspoon), and pepper (about ¼ teaspoon).
  4. Stir in the diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped onion if using. Mix gently to combine.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the crescent roll crust in the casserole dish and spread gently with a spatula for even coverage.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the eggs are set with no jiggle and the crust is golden brown and flaky around the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley before serving.

Notes

Press crescent roll triangles firmly together to prevent gaps and soggy crust. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing and even cooking. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating; add extra baking time if baking from cold. Variations include swapping ham for bacon, sausage, or vegetables for vegetarian options. Cheese alternatives like Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella work well.
