A quick and comforting breakfast casserole featuring flaky biscuit dough, savory sausage, and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for busy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 10–12 biscuits)
  • 12 oz breakfast sausage (ground pork, mild or spicy)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 200 g)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional, about 120 g)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  3. Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with melted butter.
  4. Cut each biscuit into quarters and spread evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. If using, stir in the cottage cheese.
  6. Fold in 1 1/2 cups (150 g) of shredded cheddar cheese and the sliced green onions into the egg mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish.
  8. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top, gently pressing down to ensure the biscuit pieces soak up the custard.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup (50 g) of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook the sausage to keep it juicy. Use cold milk and room temperature eggs for a smooth custard. Cut biscuits into quarters to allow custard absorption. Let casserole rest after baking for easier slicing. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Broil briefly for extra crispiness if desired.
