# What You Need:

→ Filling

02 - 8 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup whole milk
04 - 1 cup diced cooked ham
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended. Add ham, cheese, bell pepper, and green onions, stirring to incorporate evenly.
03 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring, until just softly set. Remove from heat promptly to avoid overcooking.
04 - On the prepared baking sheet, arrange crescent roll triangles in a circle about 12 inches in diameter, overlapping wide ends at the center with points facing outward to form a wreath shape.
05 - Evenly spoon the scrambled egg mixture around the overlapping dough in a ring shape.
06 - Fold the pointed ends of the crescent triangles over the filling and tuck under the center to seal, leaving the center open.
07 - Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds if desired.
08 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
09 - Allow the wreath to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
