Cresent Roll Breakfast Casserole

This Breakfast Bake is a new favorite at our house. Crescent rolls topped with sausage, cheese, eggs, and baked. YUM! Even though this is called a breakfast casserole it is also great for lunch, brunch, a baby shower, or even tailgating this Fall. We’ve made it several times over the past few months and just can’t get enough of it. It might just be our favorite breakfast casserole!

How to Make Sausage Breakfast Bake

This breakfast casserole is super simple to make and only has a few ingredients. Start with browning some breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excesses grease. Press a can of crescent roll dough into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top the crescent rolls with the cooked sausage and shredded cheese. In a bowl, whisk together eggs,  milk, salt and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and bake.

• I used Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. You can use regular or hot sausage.
• Can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage.
• Can breakfast casserole be made ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the casserole in advance and store in the refrigerator overnight.
• Can breakfast bake be frozen? Yes! I usually freeze this casserole after baking and reheat when ready to serve.
• I used a combination of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Feel free to use any cheese you prefer.
• You can add onions, bell peppers, green onions, or mushrooms to the sausage and cheese mixture.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat in the microwave or covered with aluminum in the oven.
