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 sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers for vegetarian option)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 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
- Prepare the Sausage and Veggies: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. If using, sauté diced onions and bell peppers alongside the sausage until softened. Drain any excess grease to prevent the casserole from becoming oily.
- Cut the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces that will bake into fluffy, golden bubbles.
- Mix the Eggs and Milk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and any preferred fresh herbs until fully combined. This egg mixture will bind the casserole and add richness.
- Assemble the Casserole: Lightly grease or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom. Layer half of the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables on top, followed by half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining biscuit pieces, sausage and veggies, and cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire assembled dish.
- Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes. The casserole is done when the eggs are fully set, the biscuit pieces are golden brown, and it is bubbling around the edges. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to achieve the best texture.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute cooked sausage with sautéed mushrooms and additional bell peppers.
- Use a cheese blend like mozzarella and pepper jack to add extra flavor complexity if desired.
- Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme can be added for an aromatic twist.
- Letting the casserole rest after baking helps it settle, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
