Ingredients:
1/2 c. milk
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 eggs
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 pkgs. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 oz. cooked ham, thinly sliced
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Beat milk and cream cheese together until smooth.  Mix in eggs and season with garlic powder, onion powder, 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 the 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 the 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 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and rolls are golden brown.
