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.

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 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!!

    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!
