Skinny Breakfast Casserole image

I came up with this recipe by taking bits and pieces from other breakfast casserole recipes I like and making some small changes. This recipe is just as delicious as a healthier, skinnier option by using turkey sausage, low-fat milk, reduced-fat crescent rolls, and egg whites along with the whole eggs.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ pound bulk turkey sausage
cooking spray
½ (8 ounce) can reduced-fat crescent rolls
3 eggs
3 egg whites
1 cup 2% milk
¼ cup all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line with crescent rolls; place the triangles flat in the dish so they cover the whole bottom.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs, egg whites, milk, baking mix, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl before adding Cheddar cheese.
  • Remove pan from the oven and let cool at least 5 minutes. Spread the browned sausage over the rolls and pour egg mixture over it al. Cover and refrigerate the unbaked casserole at least 8 hours to overnight.
  • In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until set, 40 to 60 minutes. Let cool before serving.
