Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters

Sausage Layer

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

Cheese and Vegetables

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Whisk Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Layer Biscuits: Spread the biscuit dough quarters evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a biscuit base.
  4. Add Sausage: Evenly layer the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage over the biscuits, creating a savory layer.
  5. Sprinkle Cheese and Onions: Distribute the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions over the sausage layer to add rich flavor and color.
  6. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over all the layers in the baking dish.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole uncovered into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm to enjoy a comforting breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Make sure to fully cook the sausage before adding it to avoid any undercooked meat in the casserole.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella for different flavors.
  • Feel free to add diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies.
  • Letting the bake rest before slicing helps it set for cleaner, neater pieces.
  • This casserole can be prepared the night before; just refrigerate before baking next morning.
