Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Add the sausage to the pan and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes, breaking the sausage up with a wooden spoon throughout the cooking process.
- Remove sausage from the pan and place on the bottom of a 13″x9″ baking dish.
- To the same hot skillet add butter and onions. Cook until onions are caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Layer the onions over the sausage, spreading out evenly in the dish.
- Next, add red pepper and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage. Give the dish a gentle shake to make sure everything spreads evenly.
- Top with torn croissant pieces and finish with remaining cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with tinfoil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the tinfoil and bake for an additional 5 -10 minutes. You want the inside mostly firm when you give the pan a quick jiggle test.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with green onions or parsley.
