Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 ounces cooked ham, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat milk and cream cheese together until smooth. Mix in eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium high heat and cook egg mixture until eggs are almost set.
  • Arrange the crescent rolls from one package into a rectangle shape on top of a lightly greased cookie sheet. Place rolls from remaining package along the edges of the two long sides of the rectangle, with the broad half of the rolls on top of the first layer of rolls, and the pointed ends extending over the sides of the pan.
  • Arrange the ham in a layer down the center of the dough. Spoon the cooked egg mixture on top of the ham and then sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the eggs. Bring the corners of the rolls together over the cheese to form a 'braid' shape.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and rolls are golden brown.

Tips:

  • For the dough, use active dry yeast and let it proof before adding it to the other ingredients. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough to rise properly.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a rolling pin to get it as thin as possible. This will help the braids to cook evenly.
  • To make the braids, divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a 12-inch rope. Place a slice of ham and cheese on each rope, then braid the ropes together.
  • Before baking, brush the braids with melted butter and sprinkle them with poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
  • Bake the braids at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Ham and Swiss braids are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are perfect for a crowd, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated.
