6 large eggs
½ cup milk

½ teaspoon black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Pan

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage (or Bacon)

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
Drain excess grease and set aside.
- If using bacon, cook until crispy, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Roll Out the Crescent Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish.
Seal any seams to create a solid dough base.

Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Stir in cream cheese and maple syrup for extra flavor (optional).

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

Sprinkle the cooked sausage (or bacon) evenly over the crescent dough.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage.

Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not pressing the crescent roll seams together – This can cause the eggs to seep through the dough.
Overcooking the casserole – Remove when the eggs are just set, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
Skipping the cheese topping – The melty, golden cheese layer adds extra flavor!

Variations & Substitutions

Sweet & Savory Maple Version – Use maple sausage and drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving.
Vegetarian Option – Swap sausage for sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach.
Crescent Roll Breakfast Recipes with Sausage & Cream Cheese – Spread softened cream cheese over the crescent dough before adding sausage.
Ham & Swiss Version – Use diced ham and Swiss cheese instead of sausage and cheddar.

Serving and Presentation Tips

Serve warm with fresh fruit and a side of hash browns or toast.
Drizzle with hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a colorful touch.
