⅔cupsour cream
1teaspoongarlic salt
½teaspoonblack pepper
1cup sharp cheddar cheese(shredded)
1cuppepper jack cheese(shredded)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing any seams to form a uniform base.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it's browned and crumbly.
Drain any excess grease and evenly spread the sausage over the crescent roll dough.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced green and red bell peppers until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add a little oil if necessary. Then, evenly distribute the sautéed peppers over the sausage layer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, garlic salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour this egg mixture over the sausage and peppers in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese evenly on top of the egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into servings.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Make Ahead: Crescent roll breakfast casserole is fun to prepare with kids the night before. Just assemble it, refrigerate, then bake the next morning for a delicious start to your day.
Refrigeration after Baking: Once the dish has cooled to room temperature, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing Before Baking (Unbaked Casserole): Assemble the casserole but do not bake it. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze. The unbaked casserole can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Baking after Freezing: thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
Freezing After Baking (Baked Casserole): Allow the dish to cool completely. Cut it into individual portions for easier reheating. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or place them in airtight containers or freezer bags. Label with the date, and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating from Frozen: thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then warm in the microwave or oven.
