Main Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 6 cups cubed croissant rolls
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage links (or ground breakfast sausage), cooked and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, diced bell peppers, sliced green onions, and seasoned salt until well combined.
- Arrange Croissant Rolls: Spread the cubed croissant rolls evenly in the prepared baking dish to create a base layer.
- Add Sausage and Cheese: Sprinkle the cooked and chopped breakfast sausage over the croissant cubes, then evenly layer with shredded cheese.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered croissants, sausage, and cheese, making sure it seeps throughout the casserole.
- Refrigerate or Bake: Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight for best flavor absorption, or proceed to bake immediately.
- Bake the Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

- Use your favorite type of shredded cheese such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend for added flavor.
