Ingredients
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup diced ham or sausage
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the casserole cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cans of crescent roll dough, 6 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 cup of diced ham or sausage, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Season the egg and milk mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Open the cans of crescent roll dough and unroll the dough onto a large baking dish or a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, ensuring there are no gaps or holes.
- Sprinkle the diced ham or sausage evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish. This will provide a hearty base for your casserole.
- Next, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the meat layer. You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend.
- Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over the layers of dough, meat, and cheese in the baking dish. Make sure to distribute it evenly so that every bite is flavorful.
- Using a spatula, gently press down on the casserole to ensure the crescent roll dough absorbs the egg mixture.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Breakfast Crescent Roll Casserole with your favorite breakfast sides or condiments.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality crescent roll dough for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra richness, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
- Experiment with different meat options like bacon, chorizo, or even vegetarian sausage.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make cutting easier.
- For a crispy top, sprinkle an extra handful of cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Customize your casserole with additional mix-ins like diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
- Prep the ingredients the night before and assemble quickly in the morning for a stress-free breakfast.
