I promise after this I will cool it on the breakfast recipes for awhile (except... I just ordered a new waffle iron so who am I actually kidding). It's just... this is one of those recipes that is just. so. excellent. I couldn't wait to share it.

Plus I feel like this is savory enough to work as dinner. There's spinach! And bacon! Crescent Roll Breakfast Bake.

Stay with me.

Last year I made this Christmas Morning Casserole, which you should consider making all 12 months of the year, not just at Christmas. And then maybe 2 years back, I made this Bacon Spinach Breakfast Casserole which, despite the slightly terrifying photographs, remains one of the top recipes on my site.

So I had a fridge full of crescent rolls and decided that the best thing to do would be to marry those two breakfast casserole recipes together.

Crescent Roll Bake with Bacon and Spinach

How to make Breakfast Casserole with Crescent Rolls

Basically, this is too easy to call a recipe.

You'll need 2 packages of refrigerated crescent rolls. Open each package and carefully tear the crescent rolls along the perforations.

Roll them up according to the package instructions and line them in a 9 X 13 baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. You will have two rows of eight rolls. When they bake up, they will grow together so just space them evenly and don't worry if they touch.

Mix together the eggs, milk, cheese, bacon, spinach, pour it over the top.

Bake!

Can I make Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole ahead?

I would not assemble this ahead; it's not the sort of thing that will sit well un-baked overnight.

But! This casserole will keep really well in the fridge [after it's baked], and it reheats in the oven beautifully.

To reheat, cover with foil and heat at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.

You can also reheat these in single portions in the oven.

You could probably also reheat this in the microwave, but since I am one of those weirdos with no microwave, I can't vouch.

A casserole you can eat with your hands on the go is also a big win for me.

Bacon Spinach Breakfast Bake with Crescent Rolls

The layers here are flaky and buttery, the bacon is salty and BACON, the spinach gives it a nice pop of color plus vegetables so you can feel good about having a big slice of carb happiness for breakfast.

The eggs and cheese bring it all together.

Hoping you love this as much as I do!

Also ... pouring one out for my favorite coffee mug that has smashed on the floor since this publication.

  1. I sautéed asparagus with red onion and garlic, added instead of spinach (hubby detests spinach), and then added some extra sharp white cheddar! It’s still baking but I’m super excited to try it! It smells heavenly!!!

  2. I made this this Easter Sunday and added a little twist. Added sausage with the bacon. But came out amazing. Thanks for sharing

  3. Hi !! I would love to receive your newsletter but when I try to it keeps stating that I need to fill in the required information which I am filling in ???? Can you help ?! Thank You ✌

  4. I live in Melbourne Australia and I'm pretty sure we don't have crescent rolls for sale in our supermarkets. What would you suggest as a substitute?

    1. Try any prepared refrigerated biscuit-type dough. Since crescents are in flaky "sheets" you could also try brushing some thawed puff pastry sheets with butter and rolling them up. Probably the cheapest/simplest substitute would be flaky refrigerated biscuit dough. Instead of rolling them up and lining them in the pan as pictured, you can stir the dough with the egg batter.
