Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough – forms the flaky, buttery base
- 1 lb breakfast sausage – cooked and crumbled for a savory bite
- 6 large eggs – the main protein-packed base
- ½ cup milk – adds creaminess to the egg mixture
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice) – for a melty, cheesy finish
- ½ teaspoon salt – enhances flavor
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper – adds a touch of spice
Optional Add-ins for Customization:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder – for extra depth of flavor
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes – for a mild kick
- ½ cup diced bell peppers – for added crunch and color
- ½ cup sautéed mushrooms or spinach – for extra nutrition
- ¼ cup crumbled bacon – for more smoky richness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a frying pan, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces while it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the pieces in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing them together to form a seamless crust.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the crescent roll crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Top the casserole with the shredded cheese, spreading it out in a single layer.
- Bake the crescent roll breakfast casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the casserole cool before serving.
