Ingredients
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey), casing removed
6 large eggs
1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for creamier texture)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, hot sauce, or diced bell peppers
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Drain excess grease.
3. Cut the biscuit dough into quarters and spread them evenly in the baking dish.
4. Sprinkle cooked sausage evenly over biscuit pieces.
5. Add the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
6. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the contents in the baking dish.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set.
9. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Drain the sausage well to prevent the bake from becoming greasy.
For a spicier version, use hot sausage and pepper jack cheese.
Let the casserole rest before slicing to allow it to firm up for easy serving.
