At one of my bridal showers a friend gave me a 3 ring binder filled with their tried and true recipes - something that was a perfect gift for a new bride with very limited cooking skills. Over the years I've gone back to that notebook time and again for simple, filling home cooked goodness. So recently, when a friend asked if I had a breakfast casserole recipe that would be good for a teacher appreciation breakfast, I said Why yes, yes I do. She reported back to me a few weeks later that, of the three breakfasts she's made dishes for, this one was the first that ranked an actual thank you note! So here it is folks, just in time for Mother's Day. (Did I mention that it is also SUPER easy to put together?)
Brunch Casserole
1lb sausage
1 (8oz) can refrigerator crescent dinner rolls
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I use whatever shredded cheese I have on hand, including Mexican 4 blend, and I use as much as looks good to me!)
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Cook sausage in skillet until brown and crumbly: drain well. (I have cooked the sausage the night before and just stored overnight in a ziplock - works great and is a real time saver in the morning.) Line the bottom of a buttered 9 x 13 inch baking dish with crescent rolls, sealing perforations. Sprinkle with sausage and cheese. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and seasonings. Pour over sausage & cheese. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes until set. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
