Print Recipe

A deliciously layered breakfast casserole — savory and filling!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 ounce sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 6 medium green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 9 eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 can crescent sheets (or rolls)
  • 1 6 ounce container spreadable cheese, such as Rondele garlic and herb
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional topping

  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Set out spreadable cheese to reach room temperature ahead of time.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray.
  3. Cook and crumble the sausage. Drain any excess fat.
  4. While sausage is cooking, saute the chopped green onions and mushroom in the butter, over medium heat and stirring occasionally, until they are just softened.
  5. In the meantime, whisk together the nine eggs with 3 tablespoons of milk. Add to sauted vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Lower the heat and gently scramble the eggs for 2-3 minutes, until they are just barely cooked. Eggs will still be soft. Remove from heat.
  7. Press one can of crescent sheets into baking pan, covering the bottom and about halfway up the sides. If using crescent rolls, seal the perforations as you go.
  8. Spread the softened cheese evenly over the crescent crust.
  9. Spoon the gently scrambled eggs over the cheesy crust.
  10. Spoon sausage over the eggs evenly and sprinkle shredded cheese over the whole filling.
  11. Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place on top, stretching to fit and tucking excess down the sides. If using crescent rolls, seal the perforations first on a silicone baking mat or a nylon cutting board and then transfer to top of casserole.
  12. If using the optional topping, beat the egg with a fork in a small bowl and brush over the top of the casserole. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  13. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
