Description
Cheesy Egg Crescent Roll Casserole is the ultimate brunch bake—layers of buttery crescent roll dough, fluffy eggs, gooey cheese, and savory mix‑ins baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tubes (16‑oz total) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite blend)
- 1 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or ham, chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions or fresh herbs (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or spray a 9×13‑inch baking dish.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press into the bottom of the dish, sealing the seams.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the dough layer; scatter the cooked bacon/sausage/ham if using.
- Pour the egg‑mixture over the dough and meat layer, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 25‑30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 5–10 minutes to firm up. Garnish with green onions or herbs before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can omit the meat and make a vegetarian version with diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
- Swap cheddar for Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack for variation.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the night before, cover and refrigerate, then bake in the morning—add ~5 minutes to cook time if cold from fridge.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven at 350°F for ~10 minutes or in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
