Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully spread it into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides completely. Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake the crescent roll crust in the preheated oven until it's lightly set, about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent over-browning.

04

Step

While the crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage and water. Cook, breaking the sausage apart with a spoon, until it is browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and discard. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Lightly spray a second large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 3-5 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the skillet from the heat and use a wooden spoon to break the eggs into smaller pieces. Evenly spread the cooked eggs over the pre-baked crescent roll crust. Then, spread the cooked sausage over the eggs, followed by an even layer of shredded Cheddar cheese. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. (25 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding some chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to the sausage while it's cooking.
Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend, such as Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Add an additional 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of sour cream for a complete and satisfying breakfast.
