Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Brunch on Christmas morning was our thing with Eric’s side of the family, but this year we brunched with my side. Either way, it’s a win-win. Brunch, family, and Christmastime!
The best part about this recipe is the simplicity of it all. While packing for three Christmas’ after our churches Christmas Eve service, and wanting to snuggle on the couch, the last thing I wanted to do was spend the entire night in the kitchen. I wanted to savor the moments and enjoy them while they lasted. I laid out the crescent roll, browned the sausage, covered them, and placed it in the refrigerator. The next morning other, than squealing about all things Christmas, I whisked the eggs mixture and placed it in the oven. Creating the memories surrounding Christmas was exactly what I was able to, thanks to this yummy and simple creation. 🙂
Ingredients:
- One can Crescent rolls
- One pound of ground sausage
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
What to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 pan with butter. Line the pan with the crescent rolls. (If you unravel them the way they come out of the can, you are set!) In a large pan, brown the sausage. Drain the grease and layer on top of the crescent rolls. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour overtop the sausage. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Every year at Christmas, I serve

The holidays are surrounded by food and the memories being made while creating it. If you have not done so yet, add cookie baking to your list before the 25th rolls around! Put on some Christmas tunes, sip some hot coffee, and whip up this batch of cookies. The chocolate infused with peppermint is the perfect balance of lightening up the richness of the double chocolate. Not that double chocolate anything is ever a bad thing. 😉
The holidays encompass so many things in my mind. I cherish the extra time with family that falls through the cracks throughout the year. I love seeing friends from near and far, coming together under one roof for one party or another. I crave the food that is hearty and rich and should only be enjoyed among the ones you love. It’s the epitome of holidays to me.
No matter the time of year, it’s become one of our favorite sweet tooth cravings in our household. Which one you ask? The frozen yogurt or the dark chocolate peanut butter cups? Actually, both! The best idea was to put the two together to create a bowl of goodness.
