Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the sausage is completely cooked through and no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease from the cooked sausage using a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage crumbles evenly over the biscuit pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and 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 flavor and color.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use high-quality breakfast sausage and consider mixing different cheese varieties like cheddar and monterey jack.
- Ensure your baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
- Let the casserole rest after baking to allow the eggs to set completely, which helps with cleaner cutting and serving.
- Customize your casserole by adding diced bell peppers, onions, or even some chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
- Make this casserole ahead of time by preparing it the night before and refrigerating. Just add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
- For a crispy top, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
