Ingredients:
- 2 crescent roll sheets
- 6 sausage patties (cooked from frozen patties)
- 12 eggs, scrambled
- 1/2 bag shredded cheese
- 1 can sausage gravy
- Garlic, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper (for seasoning)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Pan:
- Grease two baking pans to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick. Lay out the crescent roll sheets on the pans, pressing any seams together to create a solid base.
- Season with Garlic Parmesan Pepper:
- Sprinkle a mixture of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper over the crescent roll sheets, adding a burst of flavor to the foundation.
- Add the Gravy:
- Apply a thin layer of sausage gravy on top of the seasoned crescent roll sheets, being mindful to use it judiciously for both pans.
- Add the Cooked Sausage:
- Slice the cooked sausage patties into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly on top of the gravy layer.
- Layer with Cheese:
- Sprinkle a modest amount of shredded cheese over the sausage layer, introducing creaminess and extra flavor.
- Add the Scrambled Eggs:
- Spread the scrambled eggs evenly across the casserole, establishing the heart of this savory dish.
- Season with Salt & Pepper:
- Gently season the eggs with salt and pepper to enhance their natural taste.
- Top with More Cheese:
- Generously layer on more shredded cheese, creating a cheesy crown for your casserole.
- Bake:
- Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and if it needs a little more time, you can go an extra minute or two. Ensure the crescent roll crust is golden brown.
Tips:
- For a touch of freshness, consider adding chopped herbs like parsley or chives as a garnish before serving.
- If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked sausage crumbles instead of patties.
- Customize the casserole to your liking by incorporating vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach into the scrambled eggs.
- This casserole is versatile and can be prepared ahead of time. Assemble it the night before, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. In the morning, let it sit at room temperature for a bit before baking.
