How to Make Easy Ham and Egg Stuffed Crescent Roll Ups

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and lightly spray with butter-flavored cooking spray.

2. Cook the Ham and Egg Filling

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and diced ham, sautéing until the mushrooms are tender. Pour in the beaten eggs and seasoning, scrambling gently until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer runny. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Crescent Roll Ups

Place about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture onto each crescent triangle. Spread evenly, using up all the filling across the rolls. Sprinkle each with a portion of the shredded cheese, then gently roll up the crescents—tucking any runaway filling back inside as you go.

4. Brush & Season the Tops. 

Mix together the butter and Italian seasoning or parsley into a small bowl and brush some of the mixture on top of each crescent roll before baking.   

5. Bake

Bake for 14–18 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a sturdy spatula and serve warm. 

Mom Tips & Easy Variations

• Skip the mushrooms if your kids are picky—or swap in bell peppers or onions.
• Try well-drained bacon or sausage instead of ham.
• These reheat surprisingly well, making them great for meal prep breakfasts.
• Pair with fruit or yogurt for a balanced, kid-approved meal.

These ham and egg stuffed breakfast crescent roll ups are proof that breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated to be comforting.
