Step 1 Preheat Oven:

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 Mix Filling:

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in ham, cheese, bell pepper, and green onions.

Step 3 Cook Eggs:

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until just softly set (do not overcook). Remove from heat.

Step 4 Prepare Dough:

On the prepared baking sheet, arrange crescent roll triangles in a circle with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a wreath shape (about 12 inches in diameter).

Step 5 Add Filling:

Spoon the scrambled egg mixture evenly around the overlapping dough in a ring.

Step 6 Fold Dough:

Fold the pointed ends of the dough triangles over the filling and tuck under the center to seal, leaving the center open.

Step 7 Add Topping:

Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with seeds if desired.

Step 8 Bake:

Bake for 25 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9 Cool and Serve:

Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
