I followed advice and par baked the dough I also added mustard powder to the eggs. But family loved it!!! FYI it does take a little longer to Bake but is worth it !!
Kimberly Knight
This was great, very convenient especially for leftovers. Next time, I will add some spices and I am sure I will make this over and over. Love that it has crescent rolls vs. potatoes—different!
Sonya Edwards
Hit of our Mother’s Day brunch. Only change I made was the sausage had sage in it. Everyone loved it.
Nina Newton
Use plain crescent rolls, NOT butter flavor. Too rich. I added some shredded cheddar on top and that was too much. Otherwise, great breakfast casserole!
William Sharp
I used only a lb of sage sausage and doubled the eggs. I also used two 8×8 baking pans instead
Betty Ramos
It was very tasty. My teenage son put maple syrup on his and thought it was gourmet status. Lol. Wonder if using maple sausage would be the same. Anyhow, we will certainly be making this again. Perfect for breakfast or dinner after a long day.

This was a hit in my home. Oh my!

Very simple and very good. I did cook the crescent rolls on their own for 5-6 mins and then followed DANDYDO’ s suggestion to increase the amount of eggs, etc . I gave my parents half for weekday breakfasts and my husband and I took the other half.

I’ve made this several times with slight variations but the tweak with the best family responses adds a medium size orange or a red pepper, chopped finely, cooked before the sausage in a tbs of olive oil; uses 1.5 lb of mild Italian sausage, removed from casing and cooked per the recipe; and adds a small can of chopped green chilis from the Mexican aisle of you store. Winning supper every single time and now more colorful with the peppers.

I made this the other night and my fiance really enjoyed it. The only changes I made was I used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella, and I also cover the top with another package of crescent rolls. It resembled a quickie pie and turned out quite nice. Great for a quickie meal or a freezer meal if you do that kind of thing.

Great breakfast casserole to bring to feed a large crowd and please them at the same time.
Chelsea King
Added two extra eggs, some seasoning to the sausage, and precooked the crescent rolls for a few minutes before adding egg mixture. Pretty good!
Laura Kline
This was such an easy recipe. I followed the tips of the many other reviewer‘s. I used six eggs and I c of milk and baked my crescent rolls for 10 minutes at 425° first. I baked it an additional 30 minutes at 425 and it was perfect just like the picture. I used a combination of cheddar and Swiss since that is what I had on hand and I used the pre-cooked Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles.

I tried this recipe and it was pretty good. I made a few changes to the original. I used a cup of cheddar and a cup of mozzarella/parmesan blend, 6 eggs, a bit of diced pickled jalapeno, a cup of milk and only 1lb of breakfast sausage. My can of crescent rolls was 12oz and I baked them for six minutes at 350 before adding the egg mixture. I baked it for 25 minutes at 425. It was a bit dry and the crescent rolls are too thick, so next time I would probably roll them thin and cook them for a bit less before adding the mixture. I would also add onions and peppers and more jalapeno, maybe even some bacon or ham. I think this is a good base recipe to add to and tweak – I’ll make it again for sure.
Barbara Lee
very good!!! I also pre-cooked the cresent first
James Morse
Easy to make and it was a hit at my brunch! I cooked my sausage with onions and garlic!
Laura Grimes
To be fair, I did not use sausage with this, as I had some leftover ham. I used a cooking spray for the pan and extended the cooking time for about 25 minutes, per some of the other reviews. The bottom of the crescent rolls burned a bit, as I was waiting for the eggs to fully cook. I found the balance between not burning the bottom pastry and cooking the egg all the way through to be a delicate balance. Next time I think I’ll use an actual oil/fat to grease the pan and pre-bake the pastry a bit (even though it wasn’t soggy in mine), just to see if it makes any difference. And I’ll actually try it with sausage. Flavor was spot on, though. Everyone enjoyed it and we only have 3 little slivers of the casserole left. I’m thinking about making little crescent rolls cups for a quick heat up breakkie and using some Tony Chachere’s for a little kick.

Like many other reviewers mentioned, I pre-baked the roll dough for 5 minutes at 350 and then I also doubled the eggs and milk to give it more substance. I did have to bake it longer, but it came out wonderful!
Joseph Moore
Very good I put extra sausage in it
Jose Simon
Very good results, no changes.

With the holidays coming up I wanted to try a new breakfast casserole and I always do a trial run. As written this is so bland and nothing I can look forward to in the holiday morning. With many changes it has potential to be fantastic but that’s not this recipe. Oh and why doesn’t anyone on this site rate the actual recipe anymore? I see lots of people giving 4-5 stars after a bunch of changes. Anyway, this recipe needs something other than false 5 star reviews. Flavor is one. Start with some dry mustard.
