Dishes that are completely uniform in texture are not really my thing. I do not love pudding or jello and also am not wild about scrambled eggs (unless they are loaded with bonus stuff.) Same with ice cream. I know, unpopular opinion. (I will move on quickly.) Same for egg bakes. I love a bread or potato texture in the mix to give it a bit more heartiness. Crescent rolls are the quickest way to do it! This egg bake is our family’s favorite.
OUR FAVORITE EGG BAKE (WITH A CRESCENT ROLL CRUST!)
Serves 5 to 6
1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups spinach
A dash of red pepper flake
1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press unrolled crescent roll dough into the base of a greased 9×13 baking pan. Saute onion in olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and stir. Once spinach is wilted, remove from heat. Season with red pepper flake.
In a bowl, combine spinach mixture with browned sausage. Spread on top of crescent roll crust in pan. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pepper and cheddar cheese. Pour into baking dish. Gently stir ingredients on top of crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
