Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Egg Mixture & Cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare biscuits: Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and arrange them evenly in a greased baking dish, forming the base layer of the casserole.
- Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Make gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage, stirring well to coat and cook the flour slightly. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously. Cook the mixture until it thickens into a smooth sausage gravy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Assemble casserole: Pour the hot sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit quarters in the baking dish.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage gravy layer.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole to add a rich, gooey finish.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and the eggs are fully set.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving warm to enhance flavors and prevent burning.
Notes
- Add cooked bacon pieces for an extra layer of smoky flavor.
- Substitute cheddar with pepper jack cheese to add a spicy kick to the dish.
- This casserole is best enjoyed warm for optimal texture and taste.
