Sausage and Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing all the perforated seams together; set aside.

3. 3

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the sausage, bell pepper, onion, and green onions; cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is fully browned and crumbled, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat. Add the cream cheese and black pepper, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.

4. 4

   Evenly distribute the sausage mixture over the dough layer, then scatter the cheddar cheese on top. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then pour the mixture over everything.

5. 5

   Bake until the bottom is golden, the cheese is bubbling, and the egg layer is fully set in the center, approximately 30 minutes.
