Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Dairy

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream

Base & Seasonings

  • 1 can (10 count) biscuits (canned or homemade biscuit dough)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper for mild heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sausage: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until golden brown and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  2. Mix the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in half of the shredded cheese, reserving the rest for topping later.
  3. Arrange Biscuits in Baking Dish: Using a baking dish, arrange the biscuit dough pieces evenly across the bottom. Canned biscuits work great here for easy prep, but homemade biscuit dough can add an extra special touch.
  4. Layer Sausage and Pour Egg Mixture: Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the biscuits, then carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture on top, letting it seep between the biscuits.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top before placing the dish in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the eggs are fully set.

Notes

  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for more even heat distribution and golden biscuits.
  • Adding cheese both inside and on top maximizes flavor and gooey texture.
  • Allow the bake to sit for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to help it set for cleaner slices.
  • Whisk eggs gently to retain a fluffy texture without deflating.
  • Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley, chives, or thyme on top for an aromatic boost.
