20130622_104842

This picture really doesn’t do this breakfast casserole justice. Buttery crescent rolls, eggs, sausage and cheese. Oh the cheese. There’s more cheese in this dish than eggs.

Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

1 lb pork sausage – I like maple and brown sugar pork sausages

2 tubes crescent rolls

4 eggs

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Melted butter to drizzle on top

Preheat oven to 375° F

In a pan, cook pork until no longer pink. In a small bowl whisk eggs with salt and pepper.

Grease a 9×13 baking dish.

Press one roll of crescents into bottom of dish, pinching closed any cut seams. Pour egg mixture over crescent rolls, layer sausage over the eggs and sprinkle with 1/2 c. cheddar cheese.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Place second roll of crescents on top. Drizzle melted butter over the top and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
