Description
A comforting layered bake featuring flaky biscuits, savory sausage, a creamy custard, and topped with sausage gravy and cheese.
Ingredients
- 10 oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- Butter or nonstick spray for greasing the pan
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk or 2% milk or unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or cheddar/Monterey Jack blend)
- 1 packet (2.75 oz) sausage gravy mix
- 2 cups water (for making the gravy)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Press the refrigerated biscuit dough evenly across the bottom of the greased pan to make a single-layer crust.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high. Brown the breakfast sausage until cooked through, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease, then spread the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit crust.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over the sausage layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the egg mixture. Prepare the sausage gravy according to the packet instructions with 2 cups of water until thickened; pour it evenly over the casserole. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
- Bake for 35 minutes until set and the top is golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Letting the casserole rest before slicing will yield cleaner pieces. Use lower-fat alternatives for a lighter version.
