Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Unroll 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the dish, sealing seams.
  2. Step 2: Sprinkle 1 cup chopped deli ham and 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the dough layer.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and pale.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham and cheese layer. Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped chives on top.
  5. Step 5: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the casserole is puffed, golden, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
