Description
A comforting casserole that layers a biscuit crust with sausage, egg custard, cheese, and sausage gravy, baked until golden and set.
Ingredients
- 10 oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or cheddar/Monterey Jack blend)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 packet sausage gravy mix
- 2 cups water (for the gravy)
- Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Press the biscuit dough evenly across the bottom of the greased pan.
- Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease and spread evenly over the biscuit crust.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the egg layer.
- Prepare the sausage gravy according to packet instructions with 2 cups of water, let cool slightly, then pour it over the casserole.
- Top with remaining cheese and bake for 35 minutes until set and golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
For more heat, use spicy sausage; for a healthier option, use turkey sausage. You can also make homemade sausage gravy instead of using the packet.
