This casserole uses crescent roll dough as a base, layered with sausage, eggs, cheese, and seasonings. As it bakes, the rolls puff up to create a golden crust while holding the creamy egg mixture together. It’s a convenient and tasty twist on traditional breakfast casseroles.
1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 count)
1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken, cooked and crumbled)
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust. Pinch seams together.
Spread the cooked sausage and optional onion evenly over the crescent roll crust.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and crescent roll crust.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously across the top.
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Allow casserole to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and slice.
