How to Make Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

This casserole comes together with just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep. It’s as simple as layering, mixing, and baking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Bring the oven up to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
• Roll out the crescent rolls in the baking dish to form an even layer. Pinch any seams together.
• Cook the bacon (or use pre-cooked bacon), and crumble into small pieces.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Incorporate half of the grated cheese into the mixture and stir thoroughly.
• Layer bacon on top of the crescent rolls, followed by pouring the egg mixture evenly over the top.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese across the casserole.
• Cook for 30–35 minutes or until the eggs are firm and the top is golden. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes prior to slicing and serving.

Variations

• Vegetarian: Replace bacon with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
• Sausage Version: Use cooked crumbled sausage instead of bacon.
• Spicy Kick: Incorporate chopped jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate:

• Allow the casserole to cool completely before storing.
• Transfer leftovers into an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil.
• Place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze:

• Slice the casserole into individual portions for easy reheating.
• Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
• Freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat:

• Microwave: Heat single portions for 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
• Oven: Reheat larger portions or the entire casserole at 350°F (175°C) for about 15–20 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
