Ingredients
2 cans crescent dough
1/2 lb. deli ham, sliced
1/4 c. finely chopped chives
12 slices cheddar
12 large eggs
1 tsp. poppy seeds
1 tsp. sesame seeds
1/4 c. milk
3 tbsp. butter, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. minced onion
1 tsp. dried garlic
Flaky sea salt
Cooking spray
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Add eggs and milk to a large bowl, whisk to combine.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and add egg mixture. Cook, stirring often with a spatula, until eggs are just set. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
- Unroll one can of crescents onto greased baking sheet and pinch seams together so it’s a solid layer of pastry without gaps.
- Top with a layer of ham, followed by scrambled eggs, chives, and cheese. Unroll second crescent dough and place on top of cheese. Pinch together crescent sheets to seal.
- Melt remaining butter in microwave. Brush melted butter on top of crescent dough then sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, minced onion, and dried garlic. Season with flaky sea salt.
- Bake until crescent dough is golden and cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. (If the crescent dough is browning too quickly, cover with foil.)
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
