Reviews
You had me at packaged Cresent rolls.
It was great. It does not need extras.
This breakfast turned out delicious. I liked the thinness of the crust and the flavoring of the roll. The flavors balanced well! I had a little difficulty setting the eggs in one section, but that could be user error. I would definitely recommend and will be making this again.
I would add a few more eggs and cut the cheese in half. Didn’t really like this one
So easy and good. Everyone loves it, even my picky kids. It’s my go-to for company.
I skipped step 3, just made it all in the morning. I added some peppers and onions. It was very good, even as leftovers the next day.
Yum! I didn’t let it sit overnight. Needed ASAP. I added a few things because of personal preference. No brainer recipe that will turn out great!
I made it for Christmas morning. My family loved it!
It was easy to prepare and the results were delicious! I added some Italian seasoning that really made the flavor pop. We have added this to our family holiday recipe bank.
Very easy to assemble. With no room in the fridge for an overnight “sleep”, I assembled the pizza while the cinnamon buns were baking at 350. One son suggested more eggs, while the other liked it exactly the way it was. Another thought was to substitute hash browns for crescent dough.
So very easy and delicious! I used Pillsbury pizza crust. Added chopped onion and red bell pepper to the sausage while cooking. Added cholula to the egg mixture with a variety of seasonings. Served with salsa. It was a hit with my family. Possibilities are endless!!!
This was so easy to make and delicious!
I did not chill this overnight; no room in the fridge. Otherwise I made it exactly as written. It took 35min to cook but I’m at 6200 ft so I expected it to take longer. Very tasty and I can see how it would be very easy to add things in to customize.
we added bacon to it. Absolutely delicious recipe!
Too buttery tasting for me. My son loved it though!
I skipped the overnight part. It was still Super yummy! Father in law loved it. I modified it a bit. I only mixed half of the cheese in with the sausage, the other half I sprinkled on top of the egg mixture. I added onion powder, garlic powder and parsley flakes to the egg mixture. I had 5 refrigerated biscuits I wanted to use up, so I cut those in bite size and threw them in the egg mixture before pouring it on top of the sausage and cheese. I also did not lower the temperature and cooked it for an additional 10 minutes.
Great recipe. I use 10 eggs instead of six. 1 cup of mozzarella and 1 cup of cheddar. 1 cup of hash browns defrosted. 1/4 teaspoon of Oregano. Also, pre-bake the croissant 7 minutes at 350 before adding the ingredients.
I did have to cook it a little bit longer but it smells and looks amazing
This was a great recipe! We substituted precooked turkey sausage crumbles to save on time. I followed the recipe then, in a separate bowl mixed 2 cups of hash browns with two tablespoons of sour cream, one egg, salt, and pepper to taste and topped the casserole with it. It needed to cook 10 minutes more but turned out fantastic! Will make again. Thank you!
I made this for a New Year’s Brunch, and everyone LOVED it! I did not make any changes to the recipe, only doubled it and two cans of crescent rolls in an 11×17 glass baking dish was a perfect amount. I did have a secret ingredient, the “love”, according to my friend…it was homemade elk sausage! We make our own using smoky bacon chunks, pure maple syrup and spices ground together with the elk meat. I thought about adding peppers and onions, but decided with the sweetness of the sausage, I would just make it as the recipe directed and it turned out delicious. I will definitely make this again, and again, and again!!
Super easy and delicious I just mixed it all together and poured it on top of crescent rolls Made the night before
