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.

Time 9h15m

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.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'skinny'. It's still pretty high in calories and fat.

This casserole is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole didn't turn out looking anything like the picture.

This casserole is a lot of work for what it is. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly and my casserole turned out dry. I think I would add more milk or broth next time.

This casserole is a little bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I'm not a big fan of casseroles, but this one is really good. It's not too heavy and the flavors are well-balanced.

I love that this casserole is made with whole wheat bread. It makes it a healthier option than traditional casseroles.

This casserole is perfect for a busy morning. It's easy to make ahead of time and just pop in the oven when you're ready to eat.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I had some leftover sausage and hash browns, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

This casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially loved the combination of cheese, sausage, and hash browns.
