Sausage, Egg and Crescent Dough Casserole
Back to Blog List

This morning I made a great breakfast.  I found it on the internet last night by some random site that popped up.  The internet recipe forgot things like oven temperature and time.  I improvised and it worked.  Forgot to take a photo but definitely company quality.  

Ingredients:   

1# breakfast sausage

8 eggs + 1 egg for a wash

8 oz. block of cream cheese (room temperature) 

2 pkg Pillsbury crescent dough  

2 C shredded cheese

Directions:   

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Fry up the sausage breaking it into small crumbles.
  3. Spray a 9” X 12” baking dish
  4. Lay one sheet of crescent dough in the bottom of the dish.  pinch the perforations together.
  5. Spread the cooked sausage evenly on top of the dough.
  6. With a mixer mix the 8 eggs and the cream cheese in a bowl.  Be sure to thoroughly combine into a creamy mixture.  
  7. Pour this mixture over the sausage evenly.  
  8. Sprinkle the cheese over the whole area. 
  9. Lay the second roll of crescent dough out on a sheet of parchment paper.  Again pinch the perforations together and stretch to the size of the dish.  Pick up and lay on top of the sausage egg mixture.  
  10. Make an egg wash with the remaining egg and 1 T water.  Use the wash to brush the top layer of dough.     
  11. Bake for 35 minutes.  Leave a few minutes after removing from the oven.
  12. Cut into squares and serve.  It serves 8. 

We packaged the remaining for 3 breakfasts each.  It was delicious.  Lucy was disappointed there was no bacon, but we put some in her breakfast and the kibble disappeared.
