Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
6 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tubes (8 rolls each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 green onion, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
-
In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned (about 6-8 minutes). Drain any excess grease and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Stir in the shredded cheeses.
-
Unroll the crescent rolls and arrange 15 of them in the prepared baking dish in three rows (5 rolls per row).
-
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the crescent rolls, then pour the egg mixture over the sausage and rolls.
-
Bake for 25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, skip the sausage and add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture if you prefer a spicy casserole.
