Ingredients Needed for Crescent Quiche

  • Crescent roll dough: Convenient base for the quiche, providing a flaky and buttery crust that complements the savory filling perfectly.
  • Eggs: Essential for binding the quiche together and adding richness and texture to the dish when baked.
  • Milk: Adds creaminess and moisture to the quiche, creating a tender and flavorful custard-like filling.
  • Shredded cheese: Melts beautifully on top of the quiche, adding a gooey texture and a delicious cheesy flavor to each bite.
  • Diced ham: Brings a savory and salty element to the quiche, infusing each bite with a burst of meaty goodness.

One interesting twist you can add to this crescent quiche recipe is to sprinkle a layer of crispy hash browns on top before baking. This will give your quiche a delicious crunch and extra flavor that will surprise and delight your taste buds.
