Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease from the cooked sausage using a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and biscuit layers, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the casserole, covering the surface evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set and makes it easier to cut and serve.
- Slice into squares and serve warm. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions for added color and flavor.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the casserole the night before. Simply assemble all the ingredients in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, just pop it in the oven!
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, like bell peppers or spinach, for an extra nutritional boost. You can also swap out the cheese for your preferred variety, such as cheddar or pepper jack, to change up the flavor profile.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your casserole as it bakes. It’s done when the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. If you find the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your casserole with fresh fruit or a light salad for a well-rounded breakfast. A dollop of hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can also elevate the dish!
- Storage Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick breakfast on the go!
