Turkey ham is leaner, while bacon adds a crispy texture.

Lay the pie crust in the baking dish and push it against the sides.

Cut off the excess pie crust, leaving just a piece on the bottom.

Line the edges of the dish with rolled croissants, ensuring they touch.

Set aside one extra croissant.

In a bowl, beat 6 eggs and add 1/4 cup of half and half, mixing well.

Add the egg mixture to the baking dish on top of the croissants.

Add 4 oz of sautéed ground pork sausage, 1/4 cup diced onions, and 1/4 cup diced yellow bell pepper on top of the egg mixture.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, using a generous amount of black pepper.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until the eggs are done.

Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
