Notes

  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  • If using regular crescent rolls, pinch the seams together to seal the perforations.
  • Press the dough firmly into the pan to help prevent the egg mixture from seeping underneath.
  • Reheat individual slices in the microwave.
