Servings:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any grease.
12 ounces breakfast sausage
Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, pinching the seams together to form a crust.
8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
Whisk together the eggs, milk, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
6 large eggs, ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the crescent dough, distributing it evenly.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the cheese on top of the egg mixture.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Prep Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked sausage crumbles, bacon, or diced ham and skip the cooking step for the sausage.
Measure the milk in a large measuring cup and then add the eggs and other ingredients to be whisked right in the cup to save on dishes.

Variation Suggestions:

Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach for a veggie boost.
Use mozzarella or pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for a little kick.
Make this meatless by using mushrooms or spinach instead of sausage.

Serving Suggestions:

Great for weekend brunch, holiday mornings, or make-ahead breakfasts for busy weekdays.
Serve with fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced plate.
Pair with a mimosa or fresh juice for a brunch gathering.
