Pin This RecipeBest Breakfast Casserole in the World!
I know that is a bold statement, but it is true! This Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescent Breakfast Casserole is on repeat in our house. SO simple and SOOOOO good. We love this casserole for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We just can’t seem to get enough of it. YUM! Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescents are my favorite. Put them in a breakfast casserole and game over. Seriously the best!
How to Make Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescent Breakfast Casserole
This Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescent Breakfast Casserole is a two-part process. First, you have to make the crescents. I like to use a pizza cutter to cut the crescent rolls in half. I also like to use a small cookie scoop to scoop the sausage and cream cheese mixture on top of the crescent rolls. SO easy! Once the crescent rolls are in the pan, top them with some cheese and the egg mixture.
Can this Breakfast Casserole Be Made the Night Before?
Absolutely! I love make-ahead breakfast casseroles. Nobody wants to get up extra early to make breakfast! Just assemble the casserole and cover and refrigerate until the next morning. Take the casserole out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before baking. I usually let it sit out for about 30 minutes. If you are short on time, you can pop it in the oven cold and just add a few minutes to the cooking time.
If you don’t want to assemble the whole casserole ahead of time, you can just make the sausage and cream cheese mixture. Pop it in the refrigerator and it will be ready to go when you are ready to make the casserole. I do this quite often as the sausage and cream cheese mixture holds up better if it has chilled.
Can this Breakfast Casserole be Frozen?
Sure! You can freeze it baked or unbaked. If freezing the baked or leftover casserole, let it thaw and either reheat covered in the oven or uncovered in the microwave. If freezing the casserole unbaked, thaw the casserole completely before baking as directed below.

Made it today using mild italian sausage meat. So good. Leftovers frozen for another meal. Will make this one again.
I am not a big breakfast casserole fan. This is delicious and easy to make!
My daughter has made this several times and I just made it a few days ago. We use chorizo instead of regular sausage and it works great! I could only find extra large crescent roll and they worked just fine. Also, I made the sausage, cream cheese mixture, rolled it in the cut crescent rolls, sprinkled with cheese and refrigerated overnight (covered). I poured the egg mixture over the next morning and baked. It turned out perfectly! I almost took a picture it turned out so well.
We had leftovers for the next day and it was at least as good as it was fresh from the oven.
