Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Other
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a standard Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Eggs and Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and chopped green onions to create the filling mixture.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently press the seams together to form a single sheet of dough. Drape this dough evenly into the prepared Bundt pan, allowing the edges to hang over the sides slightly for folding later.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg and sausage mixture evenly over the dough in the Bundt pan. Fold any overhanging dough edges over the top of the filling to enclose it partially. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the dough turns a golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the Bundt pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate so that the cake releases in one piece. Slice and serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- Add cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to customize the recipe for more variety.
- This dish reheats well, making it a convenient make-ahead breakfast option.
- Ensure the dough seams are pressed properly to avoid gaps during baking.
- Use a nonstick spray or butter generously to avoid sticking to the Bundt pan.
