Ingredients
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands Biscuits (8 count)
- 1 (8-ounce) package Jimmy Dean precooked sausage crumbles (or 1 cup crumbled cooked sausage)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (mild or sharp)
- 8 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
- 1 cup milk (room temperature, whole or 2%)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional veggies: sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and red bell peppers
Optional toppings: green onions, bacon bits, sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Layer
- Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
Step 3: Cook the Sausage (if needed)
- If using raw sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
- Spread the precooked or freshly cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit layer.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage layer.
Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in any optional sautéed veggies if desired (e.g., spinach, mushrooms, red peppers).
Step 6: Combine the Layers
- Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit, sausage, and cheese layers.
- Press down gently with a spatula to ensure everything is coated.
Step 7: Bake the Casserole
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes to set before slicing into squares.
- Serve warm and add your favorite toppings like green onions, salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.
Notes
