Steps
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll crescent roll dough, separate into triangles, and press each into a muffin cup, bringing the point up above the rim.
- Dice the ham steak into small cubes. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper.
- Place one cheese slice in the bottom of each crescent-lined cup, then divide ham among them.
- Pour egg mixture into each cup until three-quarters full. Bake 12 to 14 minutes until eggs are set and crescent edges are golden.
- Let cool 1 minute and serve hot.
