Weekend Brunch Casserole is lined with a crescent roll crust and topped with pork sausage, eggs, and mozzarella cheese. Simple and delicious. I have been serving this recipe to our family for years. It is wonderful and certainly a family favorite.
Grate mozzarella cheese with a regular or course grater. Mince sweet onion.
I've made this recipe with both chopped ham or cooked bulk sausage. Both are very good. If using ham, I like to buy thick precooked ham pieces (Farmland Smoked Spiral Ham Pieces) and chop them into smaller bites. If using bulk sausage, crumble and cook the sausage in a medium skillet over medium high heat until browned. Drain grease.
Assemble the Casserole
Line the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking dish with crescent roll dough, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
Sprinkle with browned sausage or chopped ham. Next, sprinkle the grated cheese over the sausage.
In a medium bowl, combine the large eggs, whole milk, minced onion, dried parsley, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well blended. Pour egg mixture over the cheese and sausage.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until set in the center. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve hot with your favorite salsa. You may cover and refrigerate any leftovers. Serves 8.
