Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix or pre-made biscuits (enough for 9×13 inch dish)
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or 2% milk or non-dairy milk)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Filling
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 pound crumbled sausage (or substitute with ground beef or cooked bacon)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Biscuits: Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuits according to the package instructions or your own recipe. Once baked and slightly cooled, cut the biscuits into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked meat aside.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to add depth of flavor.
- Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer the biscuit pieces evenly on the bottom of the dish. Distribute the cooked sausage along with the diced bell peppers, onions, and spinach over the biscuits. Pour the egg mixture evenly over all the layers.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously over the top of the casserole, covering the surface evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The casserole is done when the eggs have set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- Substitute the sausage with ground beef or cooked bacon for variation.
- Use 2% or a non-dairy milk alternative if preferred.
- Adjust the seasoning and cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated for a quick breakfast.
