Ingredients
- Dough: 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Filling: 8 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 cup diced cooked ham, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup sliced green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Topping: 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon poppy or sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1:
