Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 6 large eggs (scrambled)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Add-Ins: (Choose based on preference)
- 1 cup cooked sausage or bacon (crumbled)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup spinach or mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and fluffy. Set aside.
Step 3: Unroll and Layer the Dough
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If making sandwiches or roll-ups, separate the triangles. If making a casserole, place the whole dough sheet in the baking dish, pressing it to fit the bottom.
Step 4: Add the Fillings
- * For sandwiches or roll-ups: Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, cheese, and meat/vegetables on each crescent triangle, then roll up from the wide end.
- * For casserole: Spread the scrambled eggs, cheese, and add-ins evenly over the dough.
Step 5: Bake
- * Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- * If making a casserole, bake for 20-25 minutes until set.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm! Pair with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a hot cup of coffee for a complete breakfast.
