Scale
Biscuits
- Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix or pre-made biscuits
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or 2% or non-dairy milk)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Fillings
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 pound crumbled sausage (or ground beef or cooked bacon)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Biscuits: Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuits according to package instructions or your recipe. Once done, let them cool slightly and cut into bite-sized pieces for layering.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess fat and set the meat aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to enhance flavor.
- Layer Ingredients: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the biscuit pieces evenly on the bottom, then layer the cooked sausage and diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach) over the biscuits. Pour the egg mixture evenly on top.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously over the entire casserole, ensuring good coverage for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy this delicious and comforting breakfast casserole!

- The casserole can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms or tomatoes for added flavor.
