Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Base

  • 1 package crescent roll dough (8 rolls)

Egg Custard

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Your choice of fresh or dried herbs (e.g., parsley, chives)

Cheese

  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

Breakfast Meats

  • 6–8 slices bacon or 8 oz sausage or diced ham, cooked and crumbled

Vegetables

  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers, spinach, onions, or other preferred veggies, sautéed

Optional Seasonings & Garnishes

  • Hot sauce, sour cream, fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crescent Roll Base: Unroll crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of a greased baking dish to form a flaky crust.
  2. Cook the Fillings: In a skillet, cook your chosen breakfast meats until browned and crisp. Sauté vegetables such as peppers or onions until softened.
  3. Mix the Egg Custard: In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Evenly layer cooked meats, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese over the crescent dough crust. Pour the egg mixture gently over the top to ensure an even bake.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set, cheese is melted, and the crescent dough turns golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  6. Let It Rest Before Serving: Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes to firm up, enabling clean slices and easier serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and smooth custard texture.
  • Do not overfill with egg mixture or heavy fillings to prevent soggy crust.
  • Precook all add-ins (meats and vegetables) to reduce excess moisture.
  • Mix cheese varieties for enhanced flavor and meltiness.
  • Let the casserole rest after baking for cleaner cuts and easier serving.
