Recipe type: Breakfast Bake
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (don't get links or pre-cooked sausage)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 7 eggs
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Garnish with green onions if desired
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Brown sausage in a medium frying pan. Once sausage is completely cooked--I like it nice and browned--turn off the heat and mix in cream cheese until evenly distributed.
  3. Next, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a frying pan on the stovetop, or to save time, cook them in the microwave.
  4. **If cooking eggs in the microwave use a glass dish or bowl and cook for 3 minutes. Stop and stir. If still wet, cook in 30-60 second intervals, stopping to stir in between each interval until eggs are completely cooked.
  5. Open crescent rolls and place 4 triangles together (making a long rectangle) on a baking sheet. Press out the perforated holes to seal as one piece. You want to fit two bakes on one sheet, so make sure you are leaving space for both.
  6. Repeat with 4 more triangles, so you have two large, side-by-side rectangles of crescent dough.
  7. Evenly divide eggs and spread them on the two rectangles. Next, divide the sausage mixture and put it on top of the eggs evenly. I found the easiest way to do this was by the spoonful because spreading the mixture is a bit difficult.
  8. Open the remaining tube of crescent rolls and use 4 triangles to make a large rectangle to top the sausage mixture. Press edges and seal.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking time.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve.
  11. Enjoy!
