Crescent Roll Breakfast Bake Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Pork Sausage: Use any variety of pork sausage for this casserole. I prefer hot sausage or sage sausage. For a lighter breakfast you can substitute turkey sausage.

Crescent Rolls: To create the flaky layers in this casserole, you’ll need a package of refrigerated crescent rolls. These can typically be found in the dairy section of your grocery store. Buy an extra can of dough and make Hawaiian Pizza Crescent Rolls!

Cheese: Cheddar cheese adds a rich and creamy texture to this casserole. You can also use other types of cheese like Monterey Jack, Colby, Mozzarella cheese, or Pepper Jack. 

Eggs: You’ll need 8 large eggs for this recipe. If you prefer, you can use egg whites instead.

Milk: Milk adds moisture and creates a light and fluffy texture in this casserole. You can use any type of milk, including dairy-free options like almond or coconut milk.

Seasonings: A dash of salt and pepper add flavor to the eggs, but you can also add your favorite herbs or spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning. If you like a spicy kick, add some hot sauce to taste.

How to Make This Sausage Breakfast Casserole

[Step 1] In a large skillet, brown  sausage over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until no longer pink. Blot with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

[Step 2] Unroll the crescent dough sheet in a 9×13 casserole dish greased with non-stick cooking spray. Pinch the seams together to create one large sheet. Sprinkle with cooked sausage and cheddar cheese.

[Step 3] In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and hot sauce, if desired. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.

[Step 4] Bake the casserole at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top begins to turn golden brown. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Make Ahead Instructions 

Refrigerate the unbaked casserole, covered with aluminum foil, several hours or overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 375°. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake as directed, increasing time as necessary until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
