Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls (Pillsbury’s recommended)
Filling
- 1 package (9 ounces) pre-cooked turkey sausage links
- 5 large eggs (beaten)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons green bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot enough for baking the breakfast casserole evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly. Press the crescent roll dough into the bottom of the dish and gently push it up about half an inch along the sides to form a crust base.
- Slice Sausage: Cut the pre-cooked turkey sausage links into small bite-sized pieces. Spread these pieces evenly over the crescent roll dough layer to make a savory foundation.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, diced green bell pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Assemble Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and dough base in the baking dish. Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese uniformly over the top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use turkey sausage for a leaner option, but pork sausage works well too.
- You can add other vegetables like onions or mushrooms to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
- Make sure the eggs are fully cooked before serving for safety and best texture.
- This dish can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
