• 4. Sprinkle 1/2 c cheese lengthwise down center of dough, leaving about a 2 1/2-inch border on each side. Spoon egg mixture evenly over cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheddar over egg mixture.
• 5. Make 2-inch-long diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling using a sharp knife or kitchen shears. Arrange strips over filling, alternating strips diagonally over filling. Press ends under to seal. Brush with egg white if desired. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

• 4. Unroll 1 tube of crescent rolls; do NOT separate. Arrange longest side of dough across width of 15 x 12 baking sheet. Repeat with other tube but overlap slightly at bottom of first dough and top of second. Roll or pinch dough to seal perforations.
• 5. Leaving a six inch wide area in center of dough from top to bottom for the egg and meat. On each side of that area, cut 1 1/2 inch wide strips about 3 inches long down each side.
• 6. Arrange ham or sausage down the center area. Spoon eggs over ham and cheddar cheese over the eggs.

HAM BREAKFAST BRAID

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.
