Time to Cook

Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 35 minutes | Total: 55 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can assemble it the night before.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. The warmth will make your kitchen feel cozy and inviting.
2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. The savory smell will have everyone gathering around.
3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. The mixture should look creamy and smooth.
5. Cut the biscuits into quarters and fold them into the egg mixture. Gently combine until everything is coated.
6. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the sausage and veggie mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Pour the biscuit and egg mixture over the sausage layer. Use a spatula to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle with parsley. The cheese will melt beautifully during baking.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully.

Make It Perfect

• For extra flavor, add some hot sauce to the egg mixture.
• Make sure to let the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking; it will set up nicely.
• You can customize this dish with your favorite veggies or leftover meats.
• If you like it spicy, consider adding jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits for even pieces.

Mix It Up

• Try adding spinach and feta for a Mediterranean twist.
• Swap out the sausage for diced ham or bacon for a different flavor.
• Add some diced tomatoes for a fresh, zesty touch.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
• Add a side of crispy bacon or sausage links.
