Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Unroll the crescent rolls and lay them across the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing seams.
  3. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Sauté the onion and bell pepper with the sausage for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  5. Whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable layer, then sprinkle reserved cheese on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and garnish if desired.
