Preheat oven to 375°.
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain.
1 pound bulk pork sausage
Unroll crescent roll dough into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Seal seams
1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
Add sausage and top with cheese.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over sausage and cheese.
8 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Seal the crescent roll seams well: This prevents the egg mixture from leaking underneath the dough.

Drain the sausage thoroughly: Too much grease can make the casserole heavy.

Use freshly shredded cheese: It melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.

Don’t overbake: Bake just until the center is set for the best texture.

Let it rest before slicing: This helps the casserole hold together better.
