Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 can crescent rolls
Meat
- 1 pound mild breakfast sausage
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs, beaten
Cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease to ensure the casserole does not become soggy.
- Layer Crescents: Spread the crescent rolls evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a base layer for the casserole.
- Add Sausage: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the crescent roll layer to add a savory element.
- Pour Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the sausage layer so they can seep into all the nooks and crannies.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top to create a cheesy crust once baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
Notes
- Be sure to drain the sausage well to avoid excess grease in the casserole.
- This casserole can be made the night before and baked in the morning.
- Feel free to substitute the mild sausage with spicy or turkey sausage for different flavors.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing for easier serving.
