Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Base

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz, about 8 rolls)

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Meats

  • 6 oz breakfast sausage or 6 slices bacon, cooked and drained

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers

Cheese

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

Seasonings

  • Optional herbs such as chives, parsley, or thyme (1-2 tablespoons fresh, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Cook sausage or bacon until browned and crispy; drain excess fat. Dice onions and bell peppers. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until combined but not overmixed.
  2. Assemble the Crescent Roll Base: Unroll crescent dough and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the greased baking dish to form a crust that will contain all fillings.
  3. Layer the Fillings: Evenly spread the cooked sausage or bacon over the crescent roll crust. Add diced onions and bell peppers on top, then sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the vegetables.
  4. Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring all sections are covered for uniform baking.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Place the assembled casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and crescent dough is golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix eggs to maintain a fluffy texture.
  • Use cold eggs and milk to prevent curdling during baking.
  • Drain excess grease from cooked meat to avoid soggy crust.
  • Adjust baking dish size based on crescent roll quantity to ensure proper crust coverage.
  • Let the casserole rest a few minutes before slicing for cleaner portions.
