Casserole Ingredients
  • 2 tubes 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 16 links 16 cooked breakfast sausage links Ensure the sausages are fully cooked before using.
  • 2 cups 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese Can substitute with cheddar or pepper jack.
  • 6 large 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup 1 cup milk Use low-fat milk for a lighter option.
  • 0.5 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish Optional garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Ensure the sausages are fully cooked. If frozen, cook and cool them first.
Assembly
  1. Unroll both tubes of crescent dough and separate them into triangles. Wrap each sausage in a triangle, placing the sausage at the wide end and rolling towards the point.
  2. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down in the baking dish, arranged neatly.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top of the wrapped sausages.
Egg Mixture
  1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together with the seasoning salt and black pepper.
  2. Pour the egg mixture slowly over the sausages and cheese, ensuring it fills in all gaps.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, checking for a golden-brown top and fully set eggs.
  2. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure the oven is preheated, and let the casserole rest after baking for easier slicing. You can prepare the casserole the night before to save time in the morning.
