Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully, place a dollop of cream cheese on each triangle, and roll them up.
  3. Arrange the rolled crescent rolls in the buttered casserole dish, creating two columns of eight rolls each.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and whole milk. Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped ham, diced jalapeño, freeze-dried parsley, and season with ground pepper and sea salt.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crescent rolls. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until puffy and golden brown.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Use a spatula to slice and serve.

Notes

It's an excellent make-ahead option. Allow crescent roll dough to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before unrolling to prevent tearing.
