Ingredients
- Dough: 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Filling: 8 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 cup diced cooked ham, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup sliced green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Topping: 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon poppy or sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in ham, cheese, bell pepper, and green onions.

- Arrange Dough:
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange crescent roll triangles in a circle with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a wreath shape (about 12 inches in diameter).
- Add Filling:

Recipe Questions & Answers
- → How do I prevent the eggs from overcooking?
Cook the egg mixture gently on medium heat until just softly set, then remove from heat before assembling the wreath. The eggs will finish cooking in the oven, keeping them tender.
- → Can I substitute crescent roll dough for another type?
Yes, puff pastry or biscuit dough can work, but crescent roll dough provides the best texture and shape for the wreath.
- → What are good alternatives to ham in this dish?
Bacon or turkey are tasty swaps, and for a vegetarian option, adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach enhances the flavor without meat.
- → Should I brush the dough with melted butter before baking?
Brushing with melted butter creates a golden, flaky crust and can be topped with seeds for extra texture.
- → How long should the wreath cool before serving?
Allow the baked wreath to cool for about 5 minutes to let the filling set slightly, making slicing easier and preserving texture.
