Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain excess grease.
Unroll crescent roll dough and press into prepared baking dish, sealing all seams to form solid bottom layer.
Distribute cooked sausage evenly over dough, then sprinkle with half of the cheese.
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth; pour over sausage and cheese layer.
Top with remaining cheese and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Let casserole rest 5-10 minutes before slicing; serve with optional toppings like salsa, tomatoes, sour cream, green onions, and black olives.
