This hearty crescent roll breakfast casserole is savory and cheesy, easy to assemble, and bakes in under 30 minutes!
Easy & Prepped Whenever You Like!
That’s the beauty of a casserole, and this crescent roll breakfast casserole is no different!
It is SO easy to put together ahead of time (with only 15 minutes of prep) and bakes in under 30 minutes! Of course, there is no need to refrigerate this breakfast casserole which is one reason we love this particular recipe. You can cook it right after assembling it – the best of both worlds!
We love all the layers, especially the crescent roll bottom, but if you love it too you will also like our classic Breakfast Casserole and Sausage Breakfast Casserole.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- Prep ahead – or not. As with most breakfast casseroles, this dish can be prepped the night before, but it can also be whipped up and baked immediately!
- Budget-friendly. This breakfast bake uses simple ingredients that won’t break the bank.
- So hearty! With layers of biscuits and plenty of protein, this is one filling breakfast.

Recipe FAQ
Assemble it the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Set it on the counter while you preheat the oven and then bake. The casserole may need an extra few minutes of bake time.
Divide any leftovers into individual-sized airtight containers and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Can you make this the night before and cover and put in the fridge and cook it in the morning ? I made your Buckeye Brownies and they were fabulous !!! Such a big hit with everyone.
I made this casserole this morning. It was a hit! There is nothing left. My granddaughter had 4 servings 😂 I think she maybe hitting a growing spurt.
Although good, next time I’ll add veggies (green pepper, onion & spinach), cut back on cheese and increase eggs by a couple. As is, we could barely taste eggs because the amount of cheese overtook everything.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Could you add hash browns to this?
I haven’t tried before, but I’m sure you could! Here is a favorite breakfast casserole of ours that has hash browns in it as well: https://lilluna.com/cheesy-potato-breakfast-casserole/
Definitely easy and not too expensive to make. Also didn’t take a lot of time. When we scooped out the first piece, it was very runny, so I worried that I had messed up somewhere. However, it just seems that I didn’t let it cool long enough before serving. It looked like the photo, which is often how I judge the end product. It is also a perfect meal “as is” – carbs, healthy fat, protein all in one. You don’t need toast or anything else with it. Tastes good with hot sauce or ketchup on it!
I’m happy you enjoyed it so much! Thanks for sharing what you did. I appreciate it! 🙂
The mixture of these cheeses sends this recipe over the top! We love it! The only thing I did different from the ingredients was to use Cavenders All Purpose Greek Seasoning in place of Italian seasoning. I always put a shake of Cavendars in my eggs. Try it…
Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Thanks so much for the tip! I’ll have to try that Greek Seasoning!
This is super delicious! My kids favorite breakfast casserole.
So easy to make and I feel like a professional chef when completed! Thanks Kristyn for bringing good food to our family meals.
I made this for a breakfast I hosted and everyone loved it. It’s so easy and so good!
