I've made this dish for brunch twice in the last month! My family likes ham, so made it with Black Forest ham. Very tasty and easy to put together. Thanks!

Made this last night, my husband loved it. I substituted crescent roll dough for the puff pastry and used one less egg. Great way to do something different with leftover turkey.
