Description
Wake up to a cozy, family-friendly breakfast with this Quick Biscuit and Sausage Egg Bake. Fluffy biscuit pieces, savory sausage, creamy eggs, and melted cheddar bake into a golden, hearty casserole that’s perfect for busy mornings, weekend brunch, or make-ahead meal prep.
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage
1 (16 oz / 454 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
1 1/2 cups (150 g) shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Optional: cooking spray or butter for greasing the dish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
2. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
3. Cut biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch). Spread biscuit pieces evenly in the baking dish.
4. Sprinkle cooked sausage over the biscuits, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit/sausage/cheese layers, pressing biscuit pieces down slightly so they’re coated.
7. Bake uncovered 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. If browning too fast, tent with foil.
8. Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
Make-ahead: Assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning (add 5–10 minutes if chilled).
Sausage swaps (no pork): Use turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or a plant-based breakfast sausage.
Cheese options: Colby Jack, mozzarella, pepper jack, or a dairy-free shred.
Add-ins: Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or diced onions (sauté first for best texture).
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days. Reheat slices in microwave 45–75 seconds or warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven 10–15 minutes.
Freezing: Freeze baked slices up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
