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.
Tips for Success:
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing.
- Experiment with different types of crescent roll dough (e.g., Honey Butter, Big & Buttery) for unique flavors.
- Freeze unbaked casseroles or pockets for up to 2 months for future convenience.
- Customize with your favorite fillings, such as veggies, fruits, or chocolate.
