Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. |
| 2 | Arrange the triangles in a greased 9-inch pie plate, forming a crust, and seal the seams and perforations. |
| 3 | Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crust, followed by the diced bacon and ham. |
| 4 | In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. |
| 5 | Pour the egg mixture over the ham, ensuring it evenly covers the ingredients in the pie plate. |
| 6 | Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top. |
| 7 | Cover the edges of the crust loosely with foil to prevent over-browning. |
| 8 | Bake the Chicken Egg Pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set. |
| 9 | Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 10 | Once baked to perfection, allow the Chicken Egg Pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. |
