1/2-1 pound sausage
1 package crescent rolls
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
5 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Break up the sausage as it cooks, letting it brown completely. Unroll the crescent rolls and spread them out in the bottom of a 9×13 pan, pressing the seams together to make one large sheet of dough. Spread the sausage over the dough. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the sausage. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the casserole. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the eggs are set.

That looks d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s! (You have no idea how long it took me to type that – lol!)
I love this! We add shredded hasbrown potatoes to ours. Yumo!
Mmm, that sounds delicious!!
PS – I just have to say that I was GFC #10600 – I like being a nice round number for people, haha!
I’ve added potatoes too when I was short an egg LOL. Our store has crescent roll sheets, no seams to worry about.
Ooh yum! I bet my family would adore this recipe.
i make this in a cast iron skillet over an open campfire when we are horsing around! Great filling breakfast!!!!! I also add the hash browns for a little extra comfort…..food factor! Yummy for sure.
Try putting in some sage into the sausage to give it a bit more bite, blend with some garlic and BAM!!!
New take on a great base!
Can this be put together the night before? Unsure with using the crescent dough. And if so how would that affect the cooking temp/time putting it in cold from the fridge (foil perhaps?)?
My family has made a casserole similar to this for years! We make it every night before Thanksgiving day and Christmas Eve. We do 10 slices of cheap white bread, cubed in a greased pan, then top with cubed sausage patties – we leave them frozen. Then we top with cheese and the egg mixture. We cover it and put it in the fridge overnight, then in the morning mix 1 small can of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 c milk and a can of diced green chiles together and pour over the top of the pan. Bake for an hour and then devour!

Can this be made in advance and baked the morning of? I need to make a breakfast casserole for a brunch but need something I can put together the night before! Looks delish
You will be fine making it the night before and cooking it the next morning.
Thanks!
Yum! I’m always leery about making casseroles like this..nothing worse than soggy crust in an egg dish but this was REALLY good and super easy. Crust cooked thru beautifully! This will be a go to recipe for sure!
