Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is half the battle. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t worry. You can substitute turkey sausage for a lighter version or use a dairy-free milk alternative if needed. This recipe is forgiving, just like a well-loved family heirloom.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir until absorbed.
- Gradually stir in the milk, simmering until the mixture thickens into a gravy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them over the sausage mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
Remember, the beauty of home cooking lies in its imperfections. If the cheese bubbles over or the biscuits are a little uneven, that just adds character—and flavor!
