Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuits
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 lb bulk breakfast sausage
  • Sliced green onions for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Crumble and cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6-7 minutes; drain and set aside.
  2. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Layer half the biscuit quarters, half the sausage, and half the cheese; repeat layers. Pour egg mixture over top, pressing biscuits down gently.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake on middle rack 35-40 minutes until golden and set, tenting with foil if top browns too fast.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into squares and serve topped with green onions.

Notes

For a make-ahead version, assemble the casserole the night before, cover and refrigerate. Bake from chilled, adding 5-10 minutes to the bake time. If the sausage has rendered a lot of fat, draining it well prevents a greasy bottom.
