Description

An easy breakfast casserole (crescent roll bottom, eggs, sausage, and cheese) that always gets “I want the recipe!” requests. Make it the night before and pop it in the oven the morning of!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Breakfast Sausage
  • 2 containers Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Brown and crumble 1 pound of breakfast sausage, and drain the fat.

Grease a 9 x 13 glass casserole.

In the bottom of the dish, lay out the two containers of refrigerated crescent roll dough, one on top of the other. (Ignore the perforations that divide the dough and slap the whole thing in there! If the dough splits at the seams, use your fingers to reattach the rips.)

Spread browned sausage evenly over dough.

Top evenly with 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.

In a bowl, beat 6 eggs and 1 cup milk together, along with salt and pepper to taste. (I use about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, but sometimes also throw a little Tony Chachere’s in there for a bit of a kick.)

Pour egg/milk mixture over dough, sausage, and cheese.

Cover casserole dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35-40 minutes. The casserole is done when the eggs have set.

This was really good, but I had to cook it for almost an hour in order to get the eggs cooked all the way through. By doing that, the crust was cooked too long and was dry.

I will try to make this again with less liquid. Maybe 4 eggs and 3/4 or 1/2 cup milk.

Thanks!

I made this last night for breakfast this morning. YUM! It’s very basic, so you could option this to the hilt with tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, chiles, etc.

I used a metal 9×13 pan & it took almost an hour to finish the eggs. The crust had a nice toasty brown to it by the end.

Thanks for sharing!

I made this for girlfriends on a girls weekend getaway. They all loved it and most went for seconds! It was super easy to prepare the night before and baked up like a dream the next morning.
