Ham 'N Eggs Brunch Braid
Never has there been such an impressive way to serve scrambled eggs! The cream cheese keeps the eggs moist inside a golden crust.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces (125 g) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
- 8 eggs, divided
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
- dash ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) sliced green onions with tops
- 1 tsp (5 ml) butter or margarine
- 2 pkgs (8 oz/250 g each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/4 lb (125 g) thinly sliced deli ham
- 1/2 cup (2 oz/60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375º F. Place cream cheese and milk in Classic Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute. Whisk until smooth using Stainless Whisk. Separate 1 egg; reserve egg white. Add the yolk and remaining 7 eggs, salt and black pepper to Batter Bowl; whisk to combine.
- Chop bell pepper using Food Chopper. Add bell pepper and onions to egg mixture. Melt butter in 12" Nonstick Skillet over medium-low heat. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set but still moist. Remove pan from heat.
- Unroll 1 package of crescent dough; do not separate. Arrange longest side of dough across width of Rectangle Stone. Repeat with remaining package of dough. Using Baker's Roller®, roll dough to seal perforations. On longest sides of Baking Stone, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep using Paring Knife (there will be 6 inches in the center for the filling). Arrange ham evenly over middle of dough. Spoon eggs over ham. Shred cheddar cheese using Coarse Grater and sprinkle over eggs.
- To braid, lift strips of dough across filling to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Brush lightly beaten egg white over dough using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cut into slices with Slice ‘N Serve®.
