Individual Egg Bake with Crescent Roll Crust

Looking for a quick and healthy Easter brunch dish? These individually portioned egg bakes are a lighter alternative to quiche but still taste indulgent!

Make it even lighter by subbing six egg whites for the eggs, or skip the crust (but it’s really delicious, so I wouldn’t!).
