Mix the eggs with canned soup and pour over casserole.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Chill overnight.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for about 1 hour until cooked and bubbly.

There are endless possibilities as well; you can use any leftover cooked meat, add green or red sweet peppers and/or Jalapeno peppers for a Tex-Mexican breakfast casserole twist.
Breakfast casserole gruyere: substitute gruyere cheese for the Monterey Jack cheese and use diced ham instead of sausage.
Breakfast casserole with bacon: substitute cooked crisped and drained bacon for the sausage.

I'm a little confused - Is this a pastry/ pie type dish.
Its just where I'm from a casserole is more like a stew... looks very tasty though!
Yes, it's more of pastry bottomed pie type dish. A casserole in North American cooking terms is pretty much anything made in a "casserole" dish (pie dish in the UK) and baked in the oven. In UK terms I believe a slow cooker or Crock-Pot type stew could be called a "casserole". Hope this helps!

what is crescent roll dough
Cresent roll dough is effectively puff pastry. A store bought packet of puff pastry should be equivalent.

The soup used in the recipe is a can of condensed cream of onion soup (sometimes called golden onion by some manufacturers). You can substitute a can of cream of mushroom soup if you can't find the cream of onion.

I use sliced loaf bread rather than crescent rolls and I don't use soup.
