Ingredients

Sausage

  • Mild or spicy ground sausage – 1 pound

Egg Mixture

  • Eggs – 6 large
  • Milk – 1 cup
  • Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper – 1/4 teaspoon

Biscuits

  • Canned biscuits (or homemade biscuits) – 8 biscuits

Cheese and Fats

  • Shredded cheddar cheese – 1 to 1 1/2 cups
  • Butter or oil (for greasing the baking dish) – 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage: Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat to keep the bake from becoming greasy.
  2. Arrange the biscuits: Grease a baking dish lightly with butter or oil. Place the biscuits evenly in the dish, leaving space between each to allow for expansion during baking.
  3. Mix the eggs and milk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This mixture will soak into the biscuits and bind everything together.
  4. Combine sausage and cheese: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the biscuits. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top to create a rich, melted layer.
  5. Pour the egg mixture: Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over the sausage and biscuits, ensuring all biscuits are partially submerged to soak up the flavors.
  6. Bake until golden: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the biscuits have puffed up with a golden crust on top.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother blend with the milk and a tender egg bake.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking dish; leave space between biscuits so they bake evenly and stay fluffy.
  • Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let it firm up, making it easier to slice.
  • Adding a pinch of smoked paprika enhances the sausage flavor with a subtle smoky note.
  • Choose fresh, quality sausage to make a noticeable difference in taste.
