Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced white onion
  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
  • honey ham thinly sliced
  • sliced hard salami
  • 10 large eggs beaten
  • seasoned salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped, sliced provolone cheese

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. As soon as the oil's hot, add the peppers & onion. Cook, stirring them occasionally, until they're soft and the onions have begun to caramelize.
  • Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the sautéed vegetables from the skillet and onto a waiting plate. Set aside.
  • Lightly spray a 9x13" dish with non stick cooking spray.
  • Remove the crescent rolls from their tube, and roll them out into a flat sheet on the bottom of the baking dish. Gently press any seams together to seal.
  • Layer ham & salami evenly out on top.
  • Whisk the seasonings into the eggs until combined, and pour the eggs evenly out into the dish.
  • Top with the sautéed vegetables, and then top with the cheese.
  • Bake the dish at 350° for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese has melted and begun to turn golden brown on top.
  • Let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Want to add extra veggies? Go for it. Sautéed mushrooms would work really well in this.
  • For even more Italian flavor, press a clove or two of garlic into the veggies while you saute them.
  • Make sure you let the casserole cool for a few minutes prior to cutting it. It will set while cooling.
