1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside. In a large skillet cook sausage, onion, and pepper over medium heat until browned. Drain and set aside.

2. Unroll crescent rolls, but don't separate into triangles. Press the dough rectangle over the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared baking dish. Press the dough perforations to seal. Bake 7 minutes. Remove and reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Sprinkle dough with sausage mixture. In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, 2 cups cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. Pour into the dish and top with remaining ½ cup cheese.

3. Bake 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Before serving, sprinkle top with additional chives.

Chorizo

For a fun flavor twist substitute 1/2 pound of the pork sausage for with 1/2 pound uncooked chorizo. Cook the chorizo with the pork sausage as directed above.
