Description

A hearty, baked breakfast casserole featuring sausage, cheese, and eggs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the sausage is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Press the crescent roll dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing the perforations.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sausage mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk in the egg mixture.
  • Prepare the night before and refrigerate; add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
