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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
