1lbpork breakfast sausage(such as Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans)
1cupfrozen hash browns
1cupshredded cheddar
5eggs
¼cupmilk
½teaspoonsalt
Black pepper to taste
1cupshredded parmesan
For garnish: chopped chives
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Carefully unroll the crescent rolls and place in a 13x9-inch pan. Pinch the seams together of the crescent rolls to make one flat sheet of dough.
Bake for 5 minutes, just to par bake the crust (this will prevent it from getting soggy).
While the crust bakes, cook and crumble the breakfast sausage in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until cooked through.
Top the crust with the sausage, then sprinkle the hash browns on top. Top with the shredded cheddar.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the cheese. Top with the shredded parmesan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown and the eggs are cooked through.
Top with chopped chives.
Notes
Variations:
Add a small bell pepper, sautéed until soft, along with the eggs
Top with thinly sliced green onions instead of chives
Instead of sausage, substitute a pound of cooked and crumbled bacon
Use your favorite combination of cheeses in place of the cheddar/parmesan.
Make ahead instructions: assemble the casserole but do not bake it. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake as directed, adding an additional 5–10 minutes to make up for the cold ingredients/pan. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. I don't recommend freezing this dish.
