Loaded with sausage, eggs, and cheese, this super yummy casserole is guaranteed to have everyone running to the breakfast table! Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole is a terrific make-ahead recipe that’s great to serve during the holidays, and perfect for brunch or for supper.
In case I’ve never shared this little piece of info, please accept my apologies. For the record, my family LOVES breakfast! It doesn’t matter if I’m serving French Toast Bread Pudding, Three Cheese Quiche, Grits Casserole, or Ham And Cheese Egg Cups, they are all in.
Of course, since breakfast food is such a hit around here, it was appropriate that I come up with some sort of recipe that combines a few of our favorite things. That’s how Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole was born.

- Sausage
- Cheese
- Crescent Rolls
- Milk
- Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper
Tips For Making Egg & Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Make the cassserole according to the directions. Cover and place in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
If you don’t care for cheddar cheese, no worries, just substitute whatever kind of cheese you like. Mexican Cheese Blend, Smoked Gouda, or Pepper Jack also add great flavor.
You can also sub out bacon or ham for the sausage if you’re not a fan.
If you’re lucky enough to have some leftovers, you can keep them stored, covered in the fridge. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave until warmed through.

I love this recipe. Can we cut in half and make in a smaller dish like 8×8? Any ideas?
Sure. Or you can make the whole casserole then freeze half.

Hi Donya!
I made this for Christmas Morning Brunch & everyone loved it!! I did saute onions, & green, red, orange peppers whatever I had on hand & the flavor was great! I did have to let it cook longer than the 18-20 minutes for the eggs to set. I don’t know if it was because of the onions & peppers or my oven etc but it turned out great thanks so much & Happy New Year!! 😀❤️
Thanks so much and happy new year to you.
