Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Greased, round pizza pan
- Medium saucepan
- Small bowl
- Large skillet
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 packages crescent rolls
- 1 package Jimmy Dean cooked sausage crumbles
- 1 envelope country gravy mix
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz shredded pepper Jack cheese
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Separate the crescent dough into 16 triangles and arrange them on a greased, round pizza pan with the points toward the center. Press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust, sealing the seams. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the gravy according to the package directions in a medium saucepan. Stir in the sausage crumbles once the gravy has thickened, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the egg mixture. Cook and stir until the eggs are almost set.
- Spread the sausage gravy mixture over the baked crust. Top with the scrambled eggs and cheeses. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted. Cut into wedges and serve.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the crescent roll seams are well-sealed to prevent the crust from falling apart.
- Cook the eggs until just shy of fully set since they’ll continue cooking in the oven.
Additional Tips and Variations
- For a spicy kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Swap out the sausage for bacon or ham for a different flavor.
