5 ingredient breakfast casserole

Please note that the original recipe for this breakfast casserole was modified to reflect 5 ingredients not 4. I wasn’t counting the milk!

Looking for an easy and simple breakfast or brunch dish? You will want to try this 5 ingredient breakfast casserole. It’s a crowd favorite.

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Cozy Living post for 2021. Since creating a cozy home is all about surrounding yourself with people you love and what you love, I thought I would share a breakfast idea that has been on repeat throughout the holiday break. My family loves this 5 ingredient breakfast casserole.  Such an easy and delicious casserole that you can whip up in a few steps for breakfast, brunch…or even dinner.

What you need:

1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough sheets or rolls. I use to make this casserole just with the Crescent rolls until I discovered the dough sheets. Have you used the sheets in any of your baking?

1 package ( 16 oz) of breakfast sausage ( hot or mild) browned, crumbled, and drained * You can also add any other favorite breakfast meat like ham or bacon. I have found that adding ham makes the casserole a bit more watery and not as firm.

2- 2 1/2 cups of shredded cheese ( we like to alternate between Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and Mexican blend)  When we use the Mexican blend I serve the casserole with salsa.

4 eggs (slightly beaten)

3/4 cup of milk

Season to taste * not included as an ingredient

What you do:
  • Preheat oven to 425
  • Spread dough into ungreased 13×9 pan pressing on the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides to form a crust
  • Spread your cooked sausage over the crust. Make sure to drain it first.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the sausage
  • Combine your slightly beaten eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour on top of the cheese
  • Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown

Serves 8-10

After you take the casserole out of the oven, let it cool for 5-10 mins before cutting and serving. If there are any leftovers, I just put them in the refrigerator for another day.

Use my homemade hot cocoa recipe to wash it all down. I hope my 5 ingredient breakfast casserole inspires you to get in the kitchen and make something yummy today. If casseroles aren’t your thing then you may want to check out my stuffed french toast or some of my other easy-to-make recipes here.
