Ingredients

1 tube (8-count) refrigerated biscuits
1 lb breakfast sausage
2 packets country gravy mix
1 can evaporated milk (or 1 ½ cups regular milk)
12 large eggs
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional add-ins:

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese for extra richness
Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a kick

Tools You’ll Need

Large skillet
Medium saucepan (for the gravy)
Mixing bowls
Whisk
9×13-inch baking dish
Spatula or wooden spoon

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions

Cheese lovers: Stir in shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack.
Lighter option: Use turkey sausage and low-fat milk.
From scratch gravy: Skip the packets — make your own with butter, flour, and milk.
Vegetarian version: Swap sausage for plant-based crumbles or sautéed mushrooms.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Gravy

In a saucepan, whisk together gravy mix and evaporated milk according to package directions until thick and creamy. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook them lightly in a nonstick skillet — just until softly set (they’ll finish baking in the oven).

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

Cut biscuits into quarters and scatter them evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer cooked sausage over the biscuits.
Add scrambled eggs on top of the sausage.
Pour gravy evenly over the top, covering everything.
(Optional) Sprinkle with shredded cheese for an extra melty finish.

Step 6: Bake

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with a sprinkle of black pepper and chopped parsley if desired.

What to Serve With This Breakfast Bake

Fresh fruit salad for a bright contrast
Hash browns or crispy bacon on the side
Hot coffee or orange juice to round out the meal

Tips for the Perfect Casserole

Don’t overcook the eggs before baking — soft scrambled is ideal.
Use flaky-style biscuits for the best texture.
Add cheese halfway through baking if you like a gooey top layer.
For extra creaminess, pour a little extra gravy on top after baking.
