Ingredients

Scale

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 lb breakfast sausage (or bacon or ham, if preferred)
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for added flavor)
1/4 cup fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and place it evenly in the bottom of the baking dish, pinching the seams together to form a crust.
In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage layer.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese (and mozzarella if using).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares.

Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

You can customize this casserole with your favorite ingredients like sautéed vegetables, mushrooms, or other cheeses.
For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate it overnight. Then, bake it in the morning!
If you prefer a lighter version, you can use turkey sausage or skip the sausage entirely and add more veggies or ham instead.

This casserole can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just reheat in the oven when ready to serve.
