Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Egg Mixture
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Nonstick cooking spray (for bundt pan)
Instructions
- Prepare the bundt pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the cake after baking.
- Layer the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and evenly press it into the bottom of the bundt pan, making sure to press seams together and slightly up the sides to create a crust base that will hold the filling.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Then, fold in the cooked and crumbled sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bell peppers, and green onions, stirring until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the egg mixture over the crescent roll dough in the bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top has a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the bundt cake to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Slice and serve warm for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- Substitute bacon or ham for the sausage to vary the flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, use plant-based protein instead of meat.
- Add hot sauce or diced jalapeños for a spicier kick.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated for convenience on busy mornings.
