Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
3/4 cup low-fat milk

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
2 Place crescent roll dough in bottom of the prepared pan, pinching perforated seams together; set aside.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, bell pepper, onion, and green onions; cook and stir until sausage is brown and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Discard any excess oil from the skillet. Stir in cream cheese and black pepper; cook until cream cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, cool slightly.
4 Spread sausage mixture over dough; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl; pour over cheese.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until casserole bottom browns, cheese melts, and eggs are set in the center, about 30 minutes.
