Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Garnish (optional)
- Chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Make Crescent Roll Crust: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring to seal any seams so the dough forms a solid crust layer.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Sausage Layer: Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage evenly over the crescent roll crust in the baking dish.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and seasoning mixture evenly over the sausage layer, covering it completely.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture to create a cheesy layer.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or parsley for added freshness and color.
Notes
- You can substitute the sausage with cooked bacon or diced ham for different flavors.
- For a spicier casserole, add diced jalapeños or swap cheddar cheese with pepper jack cheese.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly to ensure clean slicing.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
