Christmas Breakfast Pizza

01Method

1. 1

   Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks; stir occasionally until fully browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the fat and let the sausage cool.

2. 2

   Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and press the crescent roll dough evenly across the bottom to form a crust.

3. 3

   Scatter the cooled sausage and shredded cheese over the dough. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

4. 4

   When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layer. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

6. 6

   Bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C), and continue baking until the egg mixture is fully set, another 15 to 25 minutes.
