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, or chives
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage and Vegetables. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. If including vegetables like onions or bell peppers, sauté them alongside the sausage until softened. Drain any excess grease to prevent an oily casserole.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough. Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters, creating small, bite-sized pieces that will puff up during baking.
- Mix the Egg Mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and any fresh herbs or seasonings until well combined. This mixture enriches and binds the casserole.
- Assemble the Casserole. Lightly grease or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly over the bottom. Layer half of the cooked sausage and vegetables on top, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese. Repeat these layers once more. Finally, pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish, ensuring it seeps through all layers.
- Bake Until Golden and Set. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set, biscuits are golden brown, and the casserole is bubbly around the edges. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute cooked sausage with sautéed mushrooms and additional bell peppers.
- Use your favorite cheese blend to customize the flavor profile, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder taste.
- Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives can be added to the egg mixture or as garnish for enhanced freshness.
- Allowing the casserole to rest after baking helps it set better and makes it easier to serve.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
