Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 can buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage cooked, drained
  • 8 eggs
  • ¼ cups milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper adjust to taste
  • ⅔-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking pan
  • Brown the sausage. Drain the excess fat and measure out the amount needed.

  • Pop open the canned biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four equal parts. Each can usually has 8 biscuits, you will be left with 32 biscuit pieces. Place the biscuit pieces on the bottom of the pan, evenly spread out.  Sprinkle the sausage on top of the biscuits.

  • In a medium bowl, crack the eggs, and pour in milk. Whisk for 1 minute. Make sure all of the egg yolks are broken up. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked through and egg is set. Serve immediately plain, or topped with your favorite hot sauce, ketchup, sausage gravy, or salsa. Or make the night before and reheat in the microwave in the morning.

Notes

  1. I like to make this meal the night before and have it ready to serve in the morning. This way I don't have to wake up extra early.
  2. Add more sausage if you have a meat lovers group. You can also use kielbasa or any other type of breakfast sausage you like.
  3. Make the night before to have a fun breakfast in the morning without having to wake up extra early. 
  4. This makes a great freezer meal breakfast!
  5. Hash browns - Make this a supreme breakfast by adding cooked hash browns on top of the biscuit dough. You will need to use a 9x13 baking pan to account for the added food. Make sure to brown the hash browns before.
  6.  Meatless - Make this a meatless option by taking out the sausage and adding vegetables or just having egg, cheese and biscuits.
  7. Dairy free - To make this a dairy free option, substitute the cheese for vegan cheese, or don't use cheese at all. Instead of using dairy milk, use soy milk or almond milk to mix with the eggs.
  8. Gluten free - Use gluten free biscuit dough to make this a gluten free recipe.
  9. Flaky Biscuits - Use tube flaky biscuits for a fluffier flaky recipe. The flaky biscuits will rise to a bigger size than standard biscuits.
  10. Buttermilk Biscuits- Use canned buttermilk biscuits for a delicious buttermilk flavor.
