1 pound breakfast sausage You may swap for turkey sausage for a leaner option.
6 large eggs Fresh eggs work best for flavor.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to mix with Monterey Jack or spicy pepper jack.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbly pieces. Drain excess fat.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
Layer the bottom of the dish with the cooked sausage, followed by a generous sprinkle of cheese.
Open the biscuit can and cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the biscuit pieces over the sausage and cheese layer.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish, ensuring everything is well coated.
Top with remaining cheese to create a delicious crust as it bakes.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg is set and the biscuits are golden brown.
Garnish with green onions or fresh herbs before serving.
Let it cool slightly before slicing into squares for serving.

Notes

This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning. Explore variations by adding sautéed spinach or bell peppers for different flavors.
