See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

  • Bulk pork sausage – If you prefer, you can use turkey sausage.

Variations

How to Make Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

1. Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.

2. Cook the Sausage

Cook the sausage in a large skillet set over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it’s no longer pink. As it cooks, use a wooden spoon to break the sausage into crumbles. Drain off the excess fat.

4. Assemble

Unroll the crescent roll dough into the prepared baking dish, pressing the seams to seal them. Sprinkle the sausage and cheese over the dough. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, and pour the egg mixture over the top of the casserole.

5. Bake

Place the pan in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the casserole stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

FAQ

How do you keep egg casserole from falling?

Egg casserole always falls a little bit as it cools; it puffs up in the oven, then deflates slightly. This is fine and not a sign that the recipe didn’t work or that you did anything wrong!

Does breakfast casserole reheat well?

The answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure the casserole is thoroughly cooked before storing or freezing; otherwise, it may not reheat evenly. Second, if you’re reheating from frozen, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Finally, when reheating, be sure to cover the dish with foil or a lid to prevent it from drying out.

Can you freeze crescent roll breakfast casserole?

Yes, you can freeze crescent roll breakfast casserole for up to 2 months. Just be sure to wrap it well!
