- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk

- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ham steak, chopped into small pieces (approximately 2 cups)
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder and black pepper together, and scramble over medium heat until almost done. Eggs can still be a bit wet because they will fully cook in the oven.

- Gently unroll the crescent dough, on a lightly floured surface, and cut into 4 equal squares.
- Pinch the perforated lines together of the two triangles that make up that square..
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over each crescent square.
- Add scrambled eggs to each square.
- Next, spoon the ham mixture over the eggs.
- Add additional shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bring two corners of the crescents together, pinch, and seal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water.
- Brush egg wash over the crescents, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Tips
- Your eggs should be glossy and slightly wet when you finish cooking them. Baking the crescent dough in the oven will finish cooking the eggs.
- Keep the heat at medium when cooking the ham and veggies to prevent the vegetables from burning.
- When pinching the perforated dough seems together, be firm enough to seal the seams but gentle enough not to tear the dough.
