What I Cooked Wednesday – Switching Up Breakfast/Brunch

The past two weekends we had some brunch/breakfast get togethers. We finally got together with my best friend and her family to exchange Christmas gifts (that took wayyy to long) and we celebrated my sister-in-laws birthday at my parents.

Breakfast and brunch dates just seem to work well with everyone during this stage in life. The kids are in a better mood, we are up and coming back from church at that time, the kids are able to nap right after the festivities and on a Sunday – a dinner get together would be tough.

I have made this breakfast casserole before, and we absolutely love it! We served it with hash browns, fruit and my girlfriend brought over the most divine cinnamon rolls from Costco!

Sausage Breakfast Casserole

I got this recipe from Lil Luna. Super easy and great reviews!

1 lb sausage (we used the Bob Evans Original ground sausage)
1 package crescent sheet (Pillsbury)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 eggs
1/4 cup milk (a little over because we added a couple more eggs than what the recipe suggested)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 400

Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up

Unroll crescent sheet and spread onto the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan

Spread sausage over the crescent sheet and sprinkle cheese on top

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over the top

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until eggs are set and crust is golden.

Breakfast is served!!

Yogurt Parfait Cups

These were fun to make! Do you ever feel like you offer to bring the same ole thing to family parties? I really wanted to switch it up and these just sounded so refreshing!
