Breakfast Bake is a delicious egg casserole with sausage, green bell peppers, and cheese over a flaky crescent roll crust. Make this breakfast bake on special occasions or just when you want an amazing breakfast!
I’ve been making this Breakfast Bake for as long as I can remember. It’s been a tradition here at the Lofthouse Casa to make this indulgent, hearty breakfast every Christmas morning.
When I say that, I mean I seriously only ever make it on that one day of the year. That way, it makes it so much more special and we look forward to it even more.
My Mom started this tradition many years ago for me and my siblings. Every Christmas morning she would make this yummy bake after we opened presents. I absolutely loved it, so I adopted it for myself once I got married and had kids. They have come to really love it too!
Even though I have chosen to eat this heavenly casserole only one day a year, that doesn’t mean you have to. You can enjoy this Breakfast Bake whenever you desire! Those lazy Sunday mornings or weeknights when you’re feeling like breakfast for dinner, or even for a simple brunch.
If you love a good savory, protein-filled and satisfying breakfast, then this recipe definitely is for you!
The eggs, juicy sausage (I prefer turkey sausage), and a layer of melted cheese over the top are all amazing, but what really makes this Breakfast Bake a show stopper is the flaky, buttery crescent dough crust. It adds a unique texture to the casserole that is so delicious.
So what are you waiting for? Grab that baking dish and get to cooking this mouthwatering Breakfast Bake and then report back to me so I know how much you loved it! 😉

Added some cheese,made the egg mixture and poured them on then added the rest of the cheese…baked it for 20 min, it was deliCious. Thanks for a great breakfast..loved it
I received this recipe from a bed and breakfast in Michigan years ago. We don’t put sausage in ours — just the dried oregano, eggs, milk and cheese. You can make this your own, as Ms. Lofthouse has chosen to do, by adding in whatever you like. The Pillsbury crescent sheets work better than the rolls because there are no perforated edges you must pinch together to keep the egg mixture from leaking under the crust. The sheets seem to press into the 9 x 13 better as well. this has been a family favorite for almost a decade and a half now. It’s a keeper.
Does it make the crescent rolls soggy since they are on the bottom of the casserole?
No, not at all. The crescents stay perfectly fluffy. I’ve been making this recipe for years. It is so delicious!
