Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or other preferred herbs (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (or substitute with sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers for vegetarian)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend such as mozzarella or pepper jack)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Optional Herbs

  • Parsley
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Chives


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage and Veggies: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. If using vegetables like onions or bell peppers, sauté them in the sausage pan until softened. Drain excess grease thoroughly to prevent an oily casserole.
  2. Cut the Biscuits: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces that will bubble up while baking.
  3. Mix the Eggs and Milk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and any preferred herbs or seasonings until fully combined. This mixture adds richness and helps to bind the casserole together.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Lightly grease or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly over the bottom of the dish. Layer half of the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables over the biscuit layer, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers once more with the remaining biscuit pieces, sausage mixture, and cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish, ensuring it is well distributed.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the biscuits are golden brown, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to achieve the best texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cooked sausage with sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers to make the dish vegetarian.
  • Feel free to use a cheese blend such as mozzarella or pepper jack instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, thyme, or chives enhances the dish’s aroma and taste.
  • Make sure to drain excess grease from the sausage to keep the casserole from becoming too oily.
  • This recipe can be prepared a day ahead by assembling and refrigerating it, then baking fresh in the morning.
