8 oz cream cheese Adds a rich, creamy layer that envelops the other ingredients beautifully.

1 cup milk Keeps the casserole moist and enhances the creamy texture.
1 cup shredded cheese A blend of flavors that melts beautifully.
1 cup diced ham Adds savory goodness; swap with bacon or sausage for a twist!
1 jalapeño, diced Provides a spicy kick; omit if you prefer a milder dish.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Unroll the crescent rolls, spread cream cheese on each triangle, and arrange in the casserole dish.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, then stir in cheese, ham, jalapeño, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the casserole dish.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown, covering with foil if browning too quickly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
