Step-by-Step Instructions for Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough, spread cream cheese on the wide end of each triangle, then roll it up and arrange in the casserole dish.
  3. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl, then fold in the shredded cheese, ham, jalapeño, parsley, pepper, and salt.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the casserole dish.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown, covering with foil if browning too quickly.
  6. Check the center for doneness; it should be puffy and set.
  7. Let it cool for 5 minutes, cut into squares and serve with your favorite sides.
