Ingredients
Instructions
- Crumble the sausage in a skillet and cook until browned.
- Drain the sausage and line the bottom of a buttered 13 x 9-inch baking dish with crescent rolls, pressing perforations to seal.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage and grated mozzarella cheese over the crescent rolls.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce; beat well.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese in the baking dish.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until set.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, add more Tabasco sauce or replace the Mozzarella with Pepper Jack cheese. You can also use turkey sausage for a healthier option. If you don’t have crescent rolls, try using puff pastry or biscuit dough. Pre-cook the sausage ahead of time for quicker preparation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish with a fresh fruit salad or a side of Crunchy Bacon Cole Slaw for a refreshing contrast. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or roasted vegetables. Drizzle with additional hot sauce for an extra kick, or serve with toasted bread for a heartier brunch.
