Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

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