Ingredients

1 (16 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8-count)
1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups whole milk (for gravy)
6 large eggs
½ cup milk (for eggs)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, leaving the fat in the pan.
Step 3: Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the 2 ½ cups of milk while stirring constantly. Simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces.
Step 6: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, ½ cup milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese if using. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuits and gravy.
Step 7: Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes or until the eggs are set, biscuits are cooked through, and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 8: Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

Check at 35 minutes to avoid overbaking and keep the casserole soft and fluffy.
Use spicy sausage or add jalapeños for a kick of heat.
Mix in sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra flavor and veggies.
Top with hot sauce or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet and spicy contrast.
For homemade biscuits, pre-bake or par-bake slightly before layering to ensure they cook through inside the casserole.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F until warmed through. This casserole can also be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning, or cooled completely and frozen for longer storage. To reheat from frozen, bake at 325°F until heated through.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up view of a baked dish in a white ceramic rectangular tray. The dish has multiple layers, starting with a bottom layer of cooked pasta or dough, topped with a thick layer of browned ground meat mixed with small bits of sauce. This is covered by a rich, creamy white cheese sauce that is browned and slightly bubbly on top, creating a textured surface with uneven golden spots. The tray is set on a white marbled surface, and a red and white checkered cloth is partially visible beside it, adding a cozy, homey feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
