US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1 8 ounce tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed pepper
  • 2 cups shredded colby-jack blend cheese (fiesta blend or cheddar cheese is also good)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet until no longer pink, making sure to break it into crumbles. Drain the sausage.
  • Remove the crescent roll dough from the tube and set it into the sprayed baking dish. You want to line the bottom of the pan with the dough. Make sure to seal the seams.
  • Sprinkle the cooked sausage and only half the cheese onto the crescent roll dough evenly.
  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper and whisk well.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.
  • Sprinkle the last cup of cheese over the top.
  • Bake, uncovered for approximatly 35-40 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center. If it comes out clean or with no raw egg on the knife, it's ready.
  • Let the casserole sit for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This casserole is also good with salsa, sliced tomatoes, sour cream, green onions and black olives.

Notes

Leftovers should be stored well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, warm up slices in the microwave.
