Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Description
The Sausage Breakfast Casserole starts with a base of crescent roll dough spread in a baking dish. Cooked, crumbled sausage is layered over the dough, followed by eggs whisked with milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cheddar cheese tops the casserole, which bakes until the eggs are set and the crust is golden and crisp.
The casserole offers a combination of flaky dough, savory sausage, moist egg custard, and melted cheese, resulting in a hearty, textured breakfast or brunch dish. The 400°F baking ensures a well-cooked interior without sogginess.
This dish can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, or fully baked, cooled, and frozen for meal prep. Leftovers store well in the fridge and reheat conveniently, adding to its practicality as a make-ahead option.
