How to Make A Savory Morning Delight (Overview)
Picture this: You’re prepping for breakfast while sipping coffee and listening to your favorite tunes. Start by cooking your sausage until it’s nice and browned — don’t forget to drain the grease! While that sizzles, take a moment to spread those crescent rolls in a baking dish like it’s a cozy blanket.
Then, toss on the sausage, pour in the beaten eggs, and sprinkle the cheddar cheese like you’re casting magic. Slide it into the oven and let it work its magic. Quick pro tip: If you love a crispy top, consider broiling for a minute at the end — just watch it closely (no one likes burnt cheese!).
