Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Breakfast Meat
- 1 cup cooked breakfast meat (such as sausage, bacon, or ham), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and layer them evenly on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing seams together to form a solid crust.
- Cook Breakfast Meat: If not already cooked, brown your choice of breakfast meat in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat and chop into small pieces.
- Layer Meat and Cheese: Sprinkle the cooked breakfast meat evenly over the crescent roll crust, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, allowing it to soak into the crescent roll base.
- Bake Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, and the top is golden brown.
- Let Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving warm.
Notes
- You can customize the breakfast meat to your preference, such as using sausage, bacon, or ham.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Make sure to press the crescent roll seams tightly to prevent puffing during baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Use a sharp cheddar or blend of cheeses for richer flavor.
