Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup milk
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 packages crescent rolls
  • ½ lb sliced ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a blender, combine milk, softened cream cheese and eggs. Blend until ingredients are mixed together and blended well.
  • Heat a large pan over medium low heat. Melt butter. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring along the bottom frequently with a heatproof rubber spatula. Cook until eggs are just set, set aside.
  • On a large sheet pan, lay out crescent rolls in a large, thin rectangle. Use fingers to gently seal seams together.
  • Layer ham down the center of the dough, then add the egg mixture on top, followed by the cheese. Sides will remain uncovered.
  • Use a paring knife to slice the dough at 1 ½" intervals, stopping just short (about ½") of the ham, egg and cheese mixture. Bring sides of the dough up and criss cross on top to make a "package".
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until bread layer is light brown and cooked. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
