Description
A cozy, hands-off breakfast bake featuring fully cooked sausage, fluffy eggs, melty cheddar, and a golden crescent roll crust. Perfect for brunch or make-ahead mornings.
Ingredients
- 6 breakfast sausage links, fully cooked (approximately 12 ounces)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing pan or optional sauté)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly grease a 9×13‑inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough into the dish, pressing seams together to form an even crust.
- Slice or crumble the cooked sausage and layer evenly over the dough.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over sausage layer, then sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until eggs are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Add veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Substitute cheddar with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a twist.
- Use biscuit or pie crust if crescent dough isn’t available.
- Double the recipe for a crowd—just use a larger baking dish.
