Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Alternatively, use an air fryer for quicker cooking.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Rolls
- For the Casserole : Press the crescent roll dough into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Spread the cooked sausage and diced bell pepper evenly over the dough.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the dough and top with shredded cheeses.
- For Individual Pockets : Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese onto each triangle. Fold the dough over the filling, seal the edges, and place on a baking sheet.
- For Cinnamon Sugar Crescents : Unroll the crescent dough and brush each triangle with melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle generously over the dough. Roll up the triangles and place on a baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake
- Bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown.
- Bake individual pockets for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Bake cinnamon sugar crescents for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 4: Serve
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or powdered sugar if desired.
