Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1 package (about 10 count) buttermilk biscuits (refrigerated or homemade)
  • 1 to 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease but retain flavorful bits in the pan.
  2. Mix the egg base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings until smooth and frothy.
  3. Assemble the dish: Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the biscuits in a single layer. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuits, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture carefully over everything, allowing it to soak into the biscuits.
  4. Bake until golden: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the biscuits are lightly browned on top, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Let it rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up for perfect portions.

Notes

  • Use fresh refrigerated or homemade biscuits for the best tender and flaky texture.
  • Whisk eggs just enough to blend ingredients and incorporate air for a fluffy custard without overmixing.
  • Fully cook sausage beforehand to ensure even cooking and avoid excess grease in the dish.
  • Allow resting time after baking for flavors to meld and cleaner slicing.
  • Try baking in a cast-iron skillet for a crispy crust around the edges.
