Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8-count)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (for gravy)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (for eggs)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stirring well. Gradually add in 2 1/2 cups of milk while stirring continuously. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter them across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you’re using cheese, add it now, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the biscuits are cooked through. The top should be golden and bubbly.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
