Pastry and Dairy
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Meat
- 1 pound mild breakfast sausage
Eggs and Seasonings
- 6 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease to prevent sogginess.
- Layer Crescents: Spread the crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a base layer.
- Add Sausage: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the crescent roll layer.
- Pour Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the sausage layer, allowing the eggs to seep through.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
