Step-by-Step Instructions
Now it’s time to bring this casserole to life. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Cook the Sausage
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it browns. Once fully cooked, drain the excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
4. Cut the Biscuits
Take the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Aim for bite-sized pieces that will layer nicely in the casserole.
5. Assemble the Casserole
Start layering your ingredients in the greased baking dish:
- Scatter half of the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage over the biscuits.
- Add a layer of shredded cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining biscuits, sausage, and cheese.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layers, ensuring every corner is covered.
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set. Check with a toothpick to make sure the center is cooked through.
7. Garnish & Serve
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions for an extra pop of freshness. Slice into squares and serve warm!
Tips For Success
- Avoid Soggy Biscuits: Ensure the egg mixture is evenly distributed to prevent dry spots but avoid over-soaking any one area.
- Check Doneness: If unsure whether it’s cooked through, insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, it’s ready!
- Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover it tightly with foil, and refrigerate. The next morning, bake as directed.
Why This Dish is Perfect for Busy Mornings
Between work, school, and household chores, mornings can be chaotic. That’s why this casserole is a lifesaver. Prep it in advance and enjoy a hot, hearty breakfast without sacrificing precious time. Plus, it’s an excellent way to bring the family together around the table!
Serve It Your Way
