Ingredients
For the Biscuit Base:
– 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)
– 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
For the Gravy:
– 1 pound breakfast sausage (bulk or casings removed)
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups milk
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Egg Mixture:
– 6 large eggs
– 1/4 cup milk
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
2. Arrange the refrigerated biscuits in the bottom of the baking dish, cutting them into halves or quarters if necessary.
3. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat if needed.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the biscuits in the baking dish.
7. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the egg and biscuit mixture.
8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, if using.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
10. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
– You can add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the gravy for extra flavor.
– If you prefer a spicier dish, you can use spicy sausage or add extra red pepper flakes to the gravy.
– This dish can be made ahead by assembling it the night before and baking it in the morning.
