Notes
- Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate up to 8 hours before baking for convenience.
- Store leftover casserole in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months wrapped tightly.
- Reheat baked casserole in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes until warmed through; cover with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Use a crescent dough sheet without perforations, or pinch regular crescent rolls together to form a sheet.
- Substitute diced ham with sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian option; cook vegetables first to avoid excess moisture.
- Variations include using bacon or adding hash browns instead of crescent dough or ham for different flavors and textures.
