Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage Can use pre-cooked sausage for faster prep
  • 1 cup whole milk Almond milk can be used for a dairy-free version
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded Substitute with other cheeses for variety
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried minced garlic Can substitute with fresh garlic if preferred
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried minced onion Chopped fresh onion may be used
  • 1 sheet refrigerated crescent roll dough Can substitute with puff pastry or hash browns

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat. Once cooked, drain any excess oil and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough sheet and press it evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Pinch the seams.
  4. Sprinkle the browned sausage over the dough, then add shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, black pepper, sea salt, garlic, and onion until well combined.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layer.
Baking
  1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set and golden brown on top.
Serving
  1. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Cut into 12 squares and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Wrap tightly for freezing to avoid freezer burn. Reheat in oven or microwave.
