Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup half-n-half
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 ounce tube refrigerated seamless crescent roll dough sheet
- 3-4 teaspoons mustard
- 8 slices thin deli ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
- chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs with the half and half and salt, then make Scrambled Eggs.
- Unroll the dough sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. Cut 10 slits (on each of the long sides) about two-thirds of the way in, leaving the center one-third uncut. (Reference the picture in the blog post and watch the video - they help.)
- Spread the mustard along the center of dough. Top with the ham, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Crisscross the dough strips over the filling so that you get a braided pattern, making sure the filing is secure and the dough adheres to each other.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes until golden brown (tent with foil after 18 minutes if it’s getting too brown.) Remove from oven and sprinkle with the parsley.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
