Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls or crescent dough sheets
  • 1 ½ cups cooked, chopped bacon
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh chives, sliced green onions, or fresh parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll the crescent dough and spread the dough in the bottom of the prepared dish. It’s fine if the dough overlaps slightly. Gently press together the perforations to seal the dough.
  2. Place the chopped bacon on top of the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese.
  4. Bake, uncovered, for 35 – 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Check on the casserole after about 20-25 minutes. If the crust is looking golden brown, cover the casserole loosely with foil and continue baking until the eggs are set. This will prevent the crust from burning.
  5. Allow the casserole to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chives, green onions, or parsley.

Notes

  • You can use cans of crescent dough sheets (which don't have the perforations) or cans of regular crescent rolls. If using regular crescent rolls, just pinch together the seams.

  • The recipe calls for cooked, chopped bacon. You can easily cook the bacon at home in a skillet or in a 400°F oven for about 15 minutes. To keep the prep time to a minimum, though, purchase two packages of fully-cooked thick-cut bacon.

  • If you'd like to add veggies to the breakfast casserole, sauté them in a skillet to soften them before adding them to the dish.
