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.
