Ingredients
  

Main Casserole
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 oz each
  • 1 lb bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk whole milk recommended
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 oz packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, sealing the seams. Pre-bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. While the crust bakes, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir in half of the crumbled bacon, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pre-baked crescent crust. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and the other 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.

Notes

For best results, use freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
The casserole can be fully assembled the night before and baked in the morning for a convenient breakfast.
