Easy Biscuits Breakfast Casserole (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 can (283 g) refrigerated biscuits, cut into quarters
02 - 450 g pork breakfast sausage
03 - 8 large eggs
04 - 240 ml whole milk or heavy cream
05 - 120 g shredded mozzarella cheese
06 - 120 g shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 113 g diced green chilies (optional)

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
10 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and thoroughly grease a 23 x 33 cm baking dish to prevent sticking.
02 - Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish and gently press down to form a solid foundation.
03 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
04 - Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit layer in the baking dish.
05 - In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until completely blended.
06 - Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and biscuits, ensuring full coverage. Evenly top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle diced green chilies on top if using.
07 - Transfer the assembled casserole to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is golden and bubbling. For even browning, tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
08 - Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For best texture, firmly press biscuit dough into the baking dish to ensure a cohesive base.
02 - Allowing the cooked casserole to rest enhances sliceability and flavor integration.
03 - Prepare the casserole the night before; refrigerate and bake directly in the morning for a convenient make-ahead option.
04 - Customize by substituting sausage with bacon, ham, or vegetarian sausage alternatives.
