Key Ingredients:
The main ingredients needed for this breakfast recipe are ground sausage, eggs, and crescent rolls.
Use the refrigerated crescent roll dough found in the dairy section to create a delicious flaky bottom to the egg mixture.
Ground breakfast sausage will work best when putting this recipe together since it will break up into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. Make sure to have enough eggs on hand so there will be enough to fill the whole casserole dish.
How to Make Sausage Breakfast Casserole:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up and browning fully; drain the grease with a colander.
- Press crescent rolls into a 9×13 baking dish to form a single sheet.
- Layer sausage, then cheese over the dough.
- Whisk eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper; pour over casserole.
- Bake 15–20 minutes until crust is golden and eggs are set.
Expert Tips:
- Use spicy sausage to add even more flavor to this perfect breakfast casserole.
- To make sure all of the grease is removed, put the cooked sausage on a piece of paper towel before adding the sausage to the casserole dish.
- Don’t whip the eggs too much, or you will cause big pockets of air in the eggs when they cook.
- Add chopped bell peppers and onions for even more flavor.
- Top the casserole with sour cream, salsa, or fresh cilantro.
Storing Tips:
Store the sausage and egg casserole in the fridge after it has cooled down to room temperature with either plastic wrap on top or the fitting lid for up to 5 days.
You can also make this up ahead of time, storing it in the refrigerator overnight and then reheating everything in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
