Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-ounce package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (I use 2%)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or substitute with cheddar or mozzarella)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and place it in the bottom of your baking dish. Press the seams together and slightly up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 5 minutes; this helps the crust stay firm during assembly.
  3. While the crust prebakes, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Use a spatula to crumble it into small pieces. Once browned, transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Whisk in the milk, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to season the mixture evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the crescent roll crust, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top to cover.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The top should be golden, and the edges slightly crispy.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
