Ingredients
  

Casserole Base
  • 1 can crescent rolls (standard size) Press seams tightly so the base holds.
Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound mild breakfast sausage Substitute turkey or plant-based sausage for a leaner option.
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded blends.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the sausage and break it up with a spatula. Cook until no pink remains.
  3. Drain excess grease, then return the pan to low heat for a minute or two to crisp the meat slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent rolls and press them into the bottom of the prepared dish. Seal seams so you have a continuous base.
  5. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the crescent-roll layer.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sausage. Tilt the pan so eggs fill gaps and coat the layer.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  2. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm.
