Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground sausage (choose your favorite variety)
  • 1 can or 12 flaky biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley
  • Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Brown the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into smaller pieces until fully cooked and nicely browned. Drain off any excess fat to prevent greasiness in the casserole.
  2. Prepare the Biscuit Base: Cut or tear the store-bought or homemade biscuits into bite-sized pieces. Spread these evenly in the bottom of a greased casserole dish to create a soft, fluffy base that will absorb flavors.
  3. Mix the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Stir in shredded cheese and any optional vegetables or herbs for added richness and texture.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Layer the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces. Pour the egg and cheese mixture on top, pressing down gently so the biscuits absorb the custard mixture evenly.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the top is lightly golden and bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, flavorful sausage for the best taste foundation.
  • Drain excess grease after cooking sausage to avoid a soggy casserole.
  • Allow the casserole to rest briefly after baking to firm up for easier slicing.
  • Adding cheese on top before baking creates a beautiful golden crust.
  • Fresh or room-temperature biscuits absorb the egg mixture better than frozen.
