- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 6 cups cubed croissant rolls
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage links (or ground breakfast sausage, cooked and chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered bread, sausage, and cheese, ensuring even distribution.
- Refrigerate or Bake: Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight for best flavor and texture, or bake immediately for 30 minutes until the center is set.
- Bake Until Set: If baking immediately, bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until the center of the casserole is fully set and cooked through.

- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
- Feel free to use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend.
- Substitute croissant rolls with crescent roll dough or another soft bread if desired.
- To make it spicier, add chopped jalapeños or use spicy sausage.
