Ingredients
Casserole Base
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
-
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage until evenly browned. Drain any excess fat, crumble the sausage, and set aside.
🥓 For extra flavor, you can add diced onions or bell peppers while cooking the sausage!
-
Prep the Dish: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
-
Layer the Base: Unroll the crescent roll dough and line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with it. Sprinkle the crumbled sausage evenly over the dough.
-
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, mozzarella, cheddar, and oregano. Pour this mixture over the sausage and crescent rolls in the baking dish.
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
🔍 If you’re looking for a golden top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, but keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
Variations
- Vegetarian: Substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and bell peppers for a delicious veggie version. 🍄🌶️
- Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the egg mixture for some heat. 🌶️🔥
- Cheesy Delight: Experiment with different cheese blends such as pepper jack or gouda for unique flavors. 🧀✨
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the casserole the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. Just pop it in the oven the next morning for a convenient brunch option!
Enjoy this tasty casserole with loved ones or as a comforting solo breakfast treat! 🥳❤️
