Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
-
1 pound bulk pork sausage
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
1 red sweet pepper, chopped
-
1 8 ounce package refrigerated crescent rolls or crescent dough sheet
-
10 eggs, lightly beaten
-
¾ cup milk
-
2 ½ cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside. In a large skillet cook sausage, onion, and pepper over medium heat until browned. Drain and set aside.
-
Unroll crescent rolls, but don't separate into triangles. Press the dough rectangle over the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared baking dish. Press the dough perforations to seal. Bake 7 minutes. Remove and reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Sprinkle dough with sausage mixture. In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, 2 cups cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. Pour into the dish and top with remaining ½ cup cheese.
-
Bake 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Before serving, sprinkle top with additional chives.
Chorizo
For a fun flavor twist substitute 1/2 pound of the pork sausage for with 1/2 pound uncooked chorizo. Cook the chorizo with the pork sausage as directed above.
