Our Favorite Egg Bake (With Crescent Roll Crust!)

August 11, 2016

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.

    Yum! We made this recipe this morning. It’s perfect for an unusually cold southern morning. Thank you!

      Excellent!

    This sounds really good and would be nice to make if you had overnight guests. The only change I would make is switching the sausage to cooked and crumbled bacon – not much of a sausage person. I love things that I can have ready ahead of time…that’s why I like Ina Gartens’ “Make it Ahead” cookbook. Check it out.

      I have seen that before, cool. Yes, I like bacon better than sausage too.
