Easy Breakfast Casserole with Crescent Rolls Recipe

Breakfast Casserole with Crescent Rolls recipe

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.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the sausage

Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.

Step 3: Layer crescent rolls

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust. Pinch seams together.

Step 4: Add sausage and onion

Spread the cooked sausage and optional onion evenly over the crescent roll crust.

Step 5: Prepare egg mixture

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 6: Assemble layers

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and crescent roll crust.

Step 7: Add cheese

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously across the top.

Step 8: Bake casserole

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9: Rest before serving

Allow casserole to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and slice.
