Remove casing from 1 pound of country sausage and place it in a pan.

Brown the sausage in the pan over almost high heat, breaking it up as it cooks.

Once browned, drain the grease from the sausage and let it cool.

Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish by pushing the croissant sheet up on the sides to form a crust.

Spread the browned sausage evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish.

Sprinkle 2 cups of cheese (Kobe Jack) over the sausage.

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup of whole milk with 4 large eggs, breaking up the eggs slightly and mixing them together.

Pour the milk and egg mixture evenly over the cheese and sausage in the casserole dish.

Sprinkle the top with Carolina ultimate rub or your favorite seasoning.

Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the croissant is golden brown.
