Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

How to Make Crescent Roll Breakfast CasseroleFollow these easy instructions to make this delicious sausage crescent roll breakfast casserole!
Unroll crescent dough. Open up your tube of refrigerated crescent dough and press it into a greased baking dish. Remember to press the perforated edges together with your finger until the dough is as smooth as you can get it.
Cook sausage. Add your sausage to a skillet and cook until it’s browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate while you make the egg mixture.
Whisk eggs. Add the eggs to a large bowl and whisk as if you were making scrambled eggs. Add the milk and seasoning and whisk some more.
Assemble. Sprinkle the sausage over the dough, then the cheese in an even layer, and finally pour the egg mixture over the top of everything.
Bake. It takes 35 – 40 minutes at 375°F for the casserole to bake completely. Please let the casserole cool slightly before serving!
Expert Tips
Top browning too quickly? If it looks like the top of the casserole is browning too much before the middle of your casserole is cooked, cover the dish with aluminum foil while it continues to bake.
Drain the sausage. Don’t skip this step or you’ll end up with a greasy casserole. Line a plate with a paper towel and spoon the cooked sausage on top. The paper towel will absorb any additional grease.
Smooth out the crescent roll dough. Unrolled crescent roll dough has perforations in it that you normally use to tear the crescents apart. Press these perforations together with your finger to make the dough one smooth piece.
Grease the baking dish. Be sure to spray it with cooking spray. For easing slicing and serving, you want to create a nonstick surface so that once it is sliced, it comes out of the pan without falling apart.
Enjoy!
