Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuits (or homemade biscuits if preferred)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk whole or your preferred alternative
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage or a vegetarian alternative like plant-based sausage
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese blend

Vegetables and Flavor Boosters

  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color works!)
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach optional, but adds a nutritious punch
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter for sautéing

Seasonings

  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika optional, for a smoky flavor
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or parsley optional, for added depth

Why These Ingredients Work

  • The combination of fluffy biscuits savory sausage, and creamy eggs creates a comforting base, while the veggies add color, texture, and nutrients. The cheese brings everything together with its gooey, melty goodness.

Pro Tip

  • Feel free to customize the ingredients based on what you have on hand or your dietary preferences. For example swap sausage for bacon or ham, or add mushrooms for an earthy twist.
  • Now that you’ve got everything ready let’s move on to the fun part: putting it all together!

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Chop the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. If using spinach, give it a rough chop.
  • If using refrigerated biscuits, cut each biscuit into quarters.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage and Veggies

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
  • Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic until softened (about 5 minutes). If using spinach, add it at the end and cook until wilted.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme (if using).
  • Stir in the cooked sausage and sautéed veggies until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  • Pour the egg and sausage mixture over the biscuits, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top for a gooey, golden finish.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  • Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip

  • For an extra crispy top, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking. Just keep an eye on it to avoid burning!
