Ingredients
Scale
For the Casserole:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare the crescent rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing any seams.
- Assemble the casserole: Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Mix the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layer.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with dried oregano or parsley, slice into squares, and serve warm.
