Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled (or turkey/chicken sausage)
- 5 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch (or similar size) baking dish.
- Layer the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and press into the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing the seams to create an even layer.
- Add the Sausage: Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage over the crescent dough.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Assemble the Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the sausage. Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until eggs are set and crescent crust is golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chives or green onions before serving, if desired.
Notes
Make it your own by adding sautéed peppers, spinach, or mushrooms. To prep ahead, assemble the night before and bake fresh in the morning. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick weekday breakfast.
