Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Assemble the Bundt Cake:
- Open one can of crescent rolls and unroll the dough, placing it in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Pinch seams together to form a single layer.
- Add half of the cooked sausage, followed by half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Pour half of the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the second can of crescent rolls, remaining sausage, cheeses, and egg mixture. Ensure the top layer is evenly covered with the crescent dough.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the egg mixture is fully set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bundt cake to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Tips:
- To make ahead, assemble the bundt cake the night before, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh in the morning.
- Swap out the sausage for cooked bacon or diced ham to mix up the flavors!
Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish that makes breakfast or brunch feel extra special.
