This is an easy breakfast casserole that you can whip up on a weekend morning for a delicious breakfast or brunch. Brandon had been asking me to make his aunt’s “breakfast pizza” for years. I’m not exaggerating. I finally gave in and had him describe it to me. It was definitely less pizza and more casserole. I did some research online and through a variety of sources came up with this. While I’m not sure if it’s an exact replica of “breakfast pizza” he enjoyed it and we’ll be making it again.
Crescent Breakfast Casserole
(Recipe source…eh, kind of came up with this one on my own after online research. It’s not rocket science.)
Ingredients:
8 oz. can of crescent rolls (I used reduced fat)
8-10 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled OR your choice of breakfast meat (ham, sausage, etc.)
6-8 eggs, beaten or Egg Beaters
2 cups shredded cheese (jack, cheddar, colby – whatever you have on hand)
2-3 tbsp milk
salt and pepper, to taste
cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare a 13 x 9 or 11 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray (use 6ish eggs if you’re using the 11 x 9 and 8ish if you’re using the 13 x 9).
Line the prepared baking dish with unrolled crescent roll dough, letting it come up the sides a bit. Press together seams.
Layer the crumbled bacon and cheese over the crescent dough. Beat eggs with milk, salt and pepper and pour over bacon and cheese.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the center is set. Let cool for a few minutes and then cut into squares and serve.
