Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 8 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
Open the biscuit dough and evenly flatten the biscuits. Press them into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust, making sure they overlap slightly to cover the entire surface.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and browned. Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit crust in the baking dish. Follow with 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, distributing it evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring it's evenly spread.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the green onions over the top.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious Breakfast Casserole with a Biscuit Crust!
