For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, plus more for greasing the dish
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (whites and greens separated)
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced small
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced small
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, divided

👩🍳 Directions to make the Crescent Roll Casserole
Step 1: Prep the Baking Dish
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter an 8×8-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the green onion whites, yellow onion, and red bell pepper. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly golden (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place a triangle of American cheese and a slice of ham (folded in half) on each triangle of dough. Roll them up tightly into crescents and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with all remaining dough, cheese, and ham.
Step 4: Partially Bake the Rolls
Bake the crescent rolls for 10 minutes to give them a head start.
Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Stir in the sautéed vegetables and half the shredded pepper jack cheese.
Step 6: Combine and Bake
Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and carefully pour the egg mixture over them, ensuring the vegetables and cheese are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the remaining pepper jack cheese over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden brown, and the center is just set.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the casserole cool slightly for about 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onion greens and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
🌟 Make the Crescent Roll Casserole Your Own
- Add More Veggies: Mushrooms, spinach, or even diced zucchini can add extra flavor and nutrition.
- Switch Up the Protein: Swap the ham for cooked bacon, turkey, or sausage for a different twist.
- Cheese Variety: Try cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
❄️ Storage Tips
- Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before (stop after adding the egg mixture) and store it in the fridge. Bake as directed the next morning, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes or in the microwave.
