Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 10 oz refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into pieces

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage

Egg Mixture

  • 5 eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp oregano

Toppings

  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1½ cups prepared country gravy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook sausage and onions: In a skillet, melt the butter and add the diced onions and breakfast sausage. Cook until the sausage is browned and the onions have softened. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
  3. Layer biscuit pieces: Place the cut biscuit dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating the base layer.
  4. Add sausage mixture: Spread the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish.
  5. Whisk egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and oregano until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage layer in the dish.
  6. Top with cheese and gravy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole, followed by dollops of warm country gravy distributed across the surface.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
  8. Serve warm: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving warm for a comforting and satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated biscuit dough for convenience, or homemade biscuit dough for a personalized touch.
  • Drain excess grease from sausage to reduce fat content and avoid a greasy casserole.
  • Oregano adds a subtle herbal flavor but can be substituted with thyme or parsley if preferred.
  • Prepared country gravy can be store-bought or homemade according to taste.
  • Cheddar cheese can be swapped with other cheeses such as pepper jack or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast the next day.
