Ingredients for Sausage Casserole
- 1 pound Swaggerty’s Farms breakfast sausage
- 6 large Coburn Farms cage-free eggs
- 1 cup Coburn Farms heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Marcum Himalayan sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Marcum fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Marcum onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Marcum paprika
- 1 cup Coburn Farms colby-jack shredded cheese
- 1 cup Coburn Farms mozzarella shredded
- 16 ounces Ginger Evans refrigerated crescent rolls (2 tubes)
- 1 to 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instead of cubed up bread like most breakfast casseroles use, our sausage and egg casserole uses crescent rolls to pack in that delicious buttery flavor. You don’t even have to pre-bake them!
How to make a Sausage Breakfast Casserole with Crescent Rolls
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned all the way through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Be sure to break up the sausage as it cooks. Remove from heat and strain off grease. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-n-half, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika until fully incorporated. Add cheese and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Open crescent rolls and roll according to package directions. Arrange 15 rolls in a prepared baking dish in three rows with 5 rolls in each row.
- Add sausage to the baking dish, spreading it evenly over the rolls.
- Pour the egg mixture over the rolls and sausage.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven. Allow sitting for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle top with green onions, if desired.
- Serve warm.
Breakfast Egg Casserole Recipes Tips
- Make sure to use ground sausage or breakfast patties, not the links. Regular, hot, or sage sausage is perfect for this dish.
- This breakfast bake is great with a little hot sauce on it.
- You can substitute bacon or ham for the sausage in this casserole. I love offering different flavors when hosting a brunch.
- You can find all these delicious products at your local Sav A Lot.
Egg Recipes for Breakfast
Egg recipes for breakfast are the best! I really love how much this easy breakfast casserole with sausage puffs up. Going into the oven it doesn’t look like much, but when it’s done baking the whole casserole is full and so fluffy!
Why is this the Best Breakfast Casserole?
First off, this easy cheese and sausage casserole is SO easy to make and quick to assemble. You can even whip it up on Christmas morning. It is the perfect Christmas breakfast casserole to make while the kids are opeing gifts.
Second off, the cheese gets all melty and the rolls puff up and it’s just SO good! One bite and you will be hooked.
You just have to try this easy breakfast casserole for yourself!
How many can this Sausage Egg Bake Serve?
We get 8 servings for breakfast when I make it, but if you’re serving this breakfast casserole as part of a buffet, you could cut it into smaller pieces and stretch it farther. When serving this dish for brunch, we easily get 16 servings out of it.

My mouth is watering. Seriously. It looks fabulous and my family would love this. It will definitely be made during the holidays, if not before.

I love how easy breakfast casseroles are but sometimes they are bland – this is anything but bland! YUM
Wendy Klik says
I love this casserole. Perfect for the busy holidays.
Elizabeth Peterson says
Is this something I can make the night before? I’m looking for a Christmas morning brunch recipe that still allows me to enjoy my family 🙂
Marion Myers says
Hi Elizabeth, to make this ahead of time, we recommend preparing the sausage the night before and getting the egg mixture ready, then all you have to do is assemble in the morning and pop in the oven. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! Happy Holidays!

In step 3 you said add cheese and stir to combine. Which I did. Then in step 5 you say spread cheese over top. Which is it?
Marion Myers says
Sorry for that error, Susan. Adding the cheese and stirring is correct. I removed the incorrect info. Thanks for pointing that out! Happy holidays!
Cindy says
The recipe says to roll the crescents, but they don’t look like rolls in your pictures. Do you roll and press them down or just press dough in the pan?
Em Beitel says
Hi there, Cindy! We rolled them out into the baking dish – just pressed the dough into the pan.
