sausage egg breakfast casserole in a panI'm on a casserole kick lately.  We can all use an easy breakfast casserole recipe for holidays, right?  This is my go-to breakfast casserole recipe that I can make ahead and toss in the oven Christmas morning so it's ready after everyone's opened their presents.

I love this breakfast casserole recipe because it's easy to create variations based on ingredients I have on hand.  The base recipe uses sausage and eggs with a crescent dough crust.  But, if I feel like being a bit cheesy, I'll stir in a handful of shredded cheese.  Mix it up with cheddar, or go for other cheesy flavors you have on hand -- like Mexican cheese, mozzarella, or Gouda!

Maybe you want a bit of garlic or paprika?  Go ahead, toss it in!  Seriously, y'all, this is such an easy recipe to make it your own!

I bake my breakfast casserole at 350°F for about 35 to 45 minutes, until it's cooked through.  You know it's done when the egg it set on top.  You'll wonder if the crescent roll dough will bake completely, but it magically does!  It offers a nice buttery crust -- but you can also eliminate the dough if you want a crustless breakfast bake.  No problem!

Brown the breakfast sausage and saute' any vegetables before adding to the casserole.  In addition to the sun dried tomatoes, I also like to add onions.  My recipe below reflects my preferred breakfast bake, but like I mentioned above, you can easily make this your own with your favorite ingredients!
