A delightful and easy-to-make breakfast casserole featuring ham, cheese, and a flaky crust.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (or 350°F if using a glass dish).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent texture.
Spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick spray. Unroll the crescent dough and set aside a quarter of it for the topping. Press the remaining dough into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, sealing any perforations.
Using your fingers to press the dough ensures it fits snugly into the dish.
Spread the diced ham, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions evenly over the dough. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour this mixture over the filling in the dish.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the eggs and milk are well combined.
Cut the reserved crescent dough into strips and arrange them decoratively on top of the casserole.
Create a lattice pattern for an appealing presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and the center is set. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
