Ingredients
For the Casserole
1 can crescent rolls1 pound mild breakfast sausage
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
- Layer crescent rolls: Spread the crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish, pressing them slightly to cover the surface.
- Add sausage: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the crescent rolls.
- Pour eggs: Beat the eggs and pour them over the sausage layer, ensuring an even spread.
- Add cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg layer, covering the surface.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the eggs are set.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, you can whisk the eggs with a splash of milk before pouring.
- You can prepare this casserole the night before and bake it in the morning for convenience.
- Feel free to customize with other cheeses or add vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach.
