Wreath Shaped Egg Ham Bake

Featured in: Weeknight Dinners

This dish features a ring of crescent roll dough filled with softly set eggs, diced ham, cheddar cheese, bell peppers, and green onions. The filling cooks gently in a skillet before being placed inside the dough wreath, folded over and baked until golden. The result is a savory, festive centerpiece perfect for brunch with a buttery, crisp exterior and a fluffy, flavorful interior.

Optional toppings like poppy or sesame seeds add crunch and visual appeal. Variations include swapping ham for bacon or turkey and adding extra vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms for depth. Serve warm with fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
