Breakfast Casserole

Serves 6
1 pkg “Little Smokies” or other mini pre-packaged mini sausage*
1 8ou can refrigerated crescent rolls 
2C grated cheese of choice (mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey jack, etc.)
4 beaten eggs - maybe more depending on how many servings you want
3/4C milk
¼ t salt
1/8t pepper

  • Preheat oven to 425degrees.
  • Unroll refrigerated crescent rolls (if not cool, they will get sticky and not unroll well) and line bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, pressing perforations together to seal into one sheet.  This forms a bottom crust.
  • Grate cheese.  
  • Crumble meat (or use food processor).
  • Sprinkle crust with meat and cheese, distributing evenly.
  • Combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper - beat well (until slightly frothy).  
  • Pour over meat and cheese mixture, distributing evenly throughout pan.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until set and top is slightly brown.  
  • Take out and sprinkle with fresh or canned parmesan cheese (optional: do this the last 5 minutes of cooking if you’d like parmesan to melt into casserole a bit)
  • Let stand approximately 5 minutes to allow it to set up enough to cut.
  • Cut into squares and serve immediately.  

*Note:  Cooked crumbled bacon, ham, bulk sausage (crumbled, cooked and well-drained) or other meat/protein of choice may be substituted for the sausage.
