Ingredients
1 can (8 ounces) crescent roll dough
1 pound breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Prepare the Crescent Roll Base: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the seams together.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the crescent roll crust.
- Mix the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add Cheese and Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, then sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the crescent roll base for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Simply bake it in the morning.
