My grandsons tried these savory morsels for the first time as youngsters and loved them. They're all grown up now, and instead of little appetizer squares, we make the servings breakfast-size. —Helen McFadden, Sierra Vista, Arizona.

I didn’t try the original recipe so I am giving 4 stars. I tweaked it a bit, using the suggestion of more eggs, less milk and adding chopped onion. 1 ½ c of cheese, ½ c of milk, 2 T of chopped onion. Also used cooked Turkey sausage crumbles instead of the link sausage because hubby doesn’t like link sausage. It came out perfectly!! He and his coworkers loved it! Oh, and you do know about the Crescent roll baking sheets now, right? No need to press all the seams together. It just comes in one big sheet for recipes like this. So easy! Enjoy!

Very good, but needs onion or onion powder for added flavor.

Very good, quick and easy to put together. This recipe I used for breakfast for dinner night and it was perfect. The only change I made was adding Cajun seasoning to the eggs for extra spice.

This was absolutely fantastic and I don't even care for sausage that much!

My husband of 52 years thought this was delicious, but next time I will make a few changes. Use only 1 1/2 cup (6 oz.) Monterey Jack cheese, Five (5) eggs, and only 1/2 cup milk. The cheese melted, of course, but made the inside seem like it wasn't done. Kept in oven extra time, but still looked raw inside. Think between too much cheese and too much milk it made it hard to finish cooking.
