Scale
For the Crust:
- For the casserole base:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or hot)
- 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 6 large eggs

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- 3. Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces and arrange evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- 4. Sprinkle cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces.
- 5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- 6. Pour egg mixture evenly over the biscuits and sausage.
- 7. Sprinkle both cheeses evenly over the top.
- 8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is golden brown.
- 9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and green onions if desired.
Notes
• For a lighter version, use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese. • Can be assembled the night before – cover and refrigerate, then bake in the morning (may need 5-10 extra minutes baking time). • Leftovers reheat well in microwave for 30-60 seconds.
