Sausage Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole – This easy breakfast casserole recipe has crescent roll dough, sausage, cheese, and eggs.
Layered Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
This is one of my favorite weekend breakfast recipes. The buttery crescent roll base takes the flavor of this egg bake over the top.
It’s a great brunch recipe to take to a potluck because it’s great for feeding a crowd.
How To Make This Sausage & Crescent Roll Casserole
Note: The full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post.
- Cook some bulk breakfast sausage.
- Drain off any excess fat.
- Add eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to a bowl.
- Whisk together.
- Press a package of crescent roll dough into the bottom of a baking dish.
- Pinch the crescent roll seams together.
Pillsbury also has crescent dough sheets (NO affiliation), which is basically crescent roll dough that hasn’t been perforated. That makes this dish even easier!
- Spread the cooked sausage over the crescent dough.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage.
- Sprinkle the top with cheese.
- Bake.
- Cool slightly before slicing.
Can I Make This Ahead Of Time
Yes! Just assemble the casserole according to the directions. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, remove the plastic wrap and let the dish come to room temperature as the oven is preheating.
It may take an additional 5-10 minutes to cook through.

I am not what you call a morning person, but I would leap out of bed for this recipe! I love the idea that I can also make it ahead of time! Perfect!
Made this for the family and it was a hit!
Love this recipe!!! I will add it to my files.
Thank you.
Can I do 2 layers of receipe?
I found this recipe last year and made it as a Christmas Brunch casserole. I never gave it a review, so I am here to let Amanda know how wonderful this recipe is/was AND it has been requested again for THIS Christmas Brunch. The only change that I made to the original recipe was that I used a sage sausage blend and Gruyère cheese. Thank you Amanda for this wonderful recipe and Merry Christmas!!!
This has become my go to recipe for brunches and holidays. I make it the night before and I buy the precooked sausage crumbles. It is less than 5 minutes prep and is so delicious the next morning!!
Great we love it! Trying it with bacon instead of sausage this time. I know will be making it a lot for Sunday Mornings and holiday brunches !
It was a big hit. It was super easy as delicious, will make ag again. I did use already slides already cook links, what I had on hand. Mine cooked in 30 mins. Thank you for the recipe.
Can I double layers?
Has anyone ever frozen the leftovers?
I have been making been making a breakfast strata for Christmas breakfast for over 20 years. Never thought to use crescent roll dough. Everyone loved this. Definitely going to continue to use the crescent dough
We call this “pan of goodness” in my house. I may reduce the salt next time other than that, this was delicious!!
So easy to make! I used hot sausage for a little kick. Next time I might cover for a little bit to keep the cheese from getting so toasted. Family favorite!
hi i was wondering can u make this in 2 layers?
I added green chili and garlic into the egg mixture (from new Mexico and we grow and roast our own but any green Chile from Hatch New Mexico will do. Don’t forget the garlic to help your belly digest it!) And it’s fantastic 1! Yummy yummy yummy
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. It is absolutely wonderful. I’m making it now. Thank you so much.
It was wonderful! I made it with original Jimmy Dean sausage and should have blotted it with a paper towel besides just draining it.
Try it with reduced fat sausage. It’s so easy and no grease!
Delicious! My family never skips breakfast when this is served! I add diced peppers and onions before the cheese topping.
I will definitely make this casserole again.
I don’t know why, but all my egg went under the dough. So after it baked my layers were egg, crescent, then sausage. It still tasted delicious and makes for a great mid-morning meal!
