Description
A buttery, cheesy casserole with a crescent roll crust, perfect for breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs, sausage (or bacon), and melty cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent rolls (8-roll sheet)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled) or bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped chives or parsley, hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared dish to form a crust. Pinch seams to seal. Optionally blind-bake the crust for 5–7 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Sprinkle cooked sausage or crumbled bacon over the crescent crust and pour the egg mixture evenly over it.
- Scatter shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes, slice into squares, and serve with optional toppings.
Notes
For a lighter version, use turkey sausage or reduce the cheese to 3/4 cup. To make it vegetarian, replace the meat with cooked mushrooms and spinach.
