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.
Preheat oven to 425℉. Gather ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Prepare the Ingredients
Grate 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese with a regular or course grater. Mince 1/3 cup chopped 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 1 pound ground pork 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 8 oz refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
Sprinkle with browned sausage or chopped ham. Next, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the sausage.
In a medium bowl, combine 8 large eggs, 3/4 cups whole milk, minced onion, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon 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.
