Description
A hearty and cheesy casserole made with beef sausage, eggs, and cheddar, resting on a flaky crescent-roll base. Perfect for brunch or potlucks.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 pound beef breakfast sausage
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 refrigerated crescent roll dough sheet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Brown the beef sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 7-10 minutes; drain excess grease.
- Press the crescent roll dough evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing seams.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pepper, salt, garlic, and onion until well blended.
- Fold in the cooked sausage and 1 cup of cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture over the crescent roll dough and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lower-carb version, skip the crescent dough for a crustless casserole. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
