Step 4: Layer the Casserole
Now comes the fun part—building the bake!
- Bottom layer: Place the biscuit dough pieces evenly in the greased 9×13-inch dish.
- Sausage layer: Sprinkle the remaining half of the cooked sausage over the biscuits.
- Egg layer: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly on top.
- Gravy layer: Spoon the sausage gravy across the dish, covering the eggs and sausage.
- Cheese layer: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top for a gooey, golden finish.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until:
- The biscuits are puffed and golden.
- The eggs are fully set in the center.
- The cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
- Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or a little extra black pepper.
Serve warm, straight from the pan, for a filling, all-in-one breakfast.
Serving Ideas
- Brunch Spread: Serve alongside a fruit salad and coffee for a balanced meal.
- Meal Prep: Cut into squares, refrigerate, and reheat for grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Holiday Table: Pair with cinnamon rolls or muffins for a festive feast.
Variations to Try
