Sausage & Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

How can you make sausage and crescent roll breakfast casserole your own?

There are several ways to make sausage and crescent roll breakfast casserole your own. For a flavor twist, replace the pork sausage with spicy or mild Italian sausage, and the mozzarella with cheddar, Swiss or Monterey Jack cheese. Or, bulk up the dish by adding some of your favorite sauteed veggies like peppers, mushrooms and onions. You could also experiment with different brands of crescent rolls.

How do you know when the sausage and crescent roll breakfast casserole is done?

The sausage and crescent roll breakfast casserole is done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, with no traces of raw egg. If the top is nice and brown, but the casserole is not done in the middle, cover the casserole loosely with foil and continue baking until it tests done.

Can you freeze sausage and crescent roll breakfast casserole?

Sausage and crescent roll breakfast casserole leftovers should not be frozen because the crescent roll crust will likely become soggy. Refrigerate any extras in an airtight container, and enjoy within 3 days. To keep the crust crisp, we suggest you avoid the microwave and instead use the oven or a skillet when reheating.
