Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 1 pound mild breakfast sausage
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage, and cook until no pink remains. Drain excess grease and return to low heat.
- Unroll the crescent rolls and press them into the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing seams.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the crescent-roll layer.
- Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sausage.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar across the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap half the eggs for egg whites. Use a sharper cheddar for more tang or a vegetarian sausage for a plant-based option.
