Ingredients
- 16 ounces Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (2 tubes)
- 16 ounces raw, spicy pork sausage *I used Jimmy Dean spicy roll
- 6 large eggs
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 11 x 13 pan with nonstick spray.
- In a cast iron skillet, brown sausage until cooked throughout. Drain any excess grease.
- Unroll crescents and wrap them in crescent shape according to the package instructions. You should have 16 rolls evenly place in your greased pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cracked eggs, and spices. Once fluffy and combined, add half the scallions, browned sausage, and half the shredded cheese.
- Pour the mixture over the crescent rolls. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the casserole.
- Bake until crescents are fluffy, golden brown, and firm to the touch. The egg mixture should be fluffy and no longer soggy in the center. A tester inserted into the center of the casserole should come out clean.
- Sprinkle remaining scallions over the casserole before serving. Enjoy warm!
