• Refrigerated biscuit dough: Cut into bite-sized pieces

• Eggs: Whisked well for a fluffy texture

• Breakfast sausage: Cooked and crumbled

Seasonings, Sauces, or Flavor Base

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Pre-Cooking Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cook and crumble the sausage and set aside. Cut the biscuit dough into quarters.

Cooking Method

Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuits. Add an even layer of shredded cheese on top.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits and cheese.

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Doneness or Texture Check

Insert a knife into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean and the biscuits are cooked through, it’s ready.

Resting or Final Touches

Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
