Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• nonstick cooking spray
• 6 large eggs
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 0.25 cup chopped onion
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup cream cheese
• 0.75 cup low-fat milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with crescent roll dough, pinching the perforated seams together.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage, bell pepper, and both onions in the hot skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove any extra oil from the pan. Stir in cream cheese and black pepper; cook until cream cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Arrange sausage-cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top. Beat eggs and milk together and pour over the cheese.

Step 4

Bake casserole in the preheated oven until the bottom is brown, cheese is melted, and eggs in the center are set, about 30 minutes.
