Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 oz)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. This ensures easy serving and cleanup later.
- Step 2: Create the Bottom Layer Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Pinch together the perforations to create a solid sheet of dough. For an extra touch, slightly build up the edges to create a subtle crust.
- Step 3: Prepare the Filling Mixture In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. This incorporates air for a fluffier texture. Add the salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika, then whisk again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Step 4: Add the Mix-ins Fold in the cooked sausage, chopped bacon, diced bell peppers, onion, minced garlic, and chopped chives. Stir gently to combine everything without deflating the egg mixture. Next, fold in 3/4 cup of each cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
- Step 5: Assemble the Casserole Pour the filling mixture over the bottom crescent roll layer, spreading it evenly to the edges. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and carefully place it on top of the filling. Don’t worry about sealing the perforations this time—they create nice venting during baking.
- Step 6: Final Touches and Baking Brush the top layer of crescent rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the remaining bake time.
- Step 7: Rest and Serve Remove from the oven and let the **Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole** rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares. Garnish with additional fresh chives and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
