Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole Ingredients:

  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (about 8 oz)
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (or chopped ham or bacon)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk (or half-and-half)
  • 2/3 cup sour cream (optional)

  • Garnish: fresh parsley or green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll crescent dough and press into the pan, pinching seams to seal a crust layer.

  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, sour cream, garlic salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread sausage (and vegetables) evenly over dough, then pour egg mixture on top.
  6. Sprinkle cheeses evenly over the top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes
