Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough

- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, pinching the seams together to form an even layer.

- Sprinkle cooked bacon or sausage evenly over the dough, if using.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crescent dough.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up and golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Customize with vegetables like sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Swap meats with ham or turkey for a lighter option.
- Use a mix of cheeses like gouda, cheddar, or pepper jack for more flavor.
- Cover loosely with foil if top browns before the center is set.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
