A hearty and flavorful breakfast casserole perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunches.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 13 x 9 baking dish.
Using butter to grease the dish adds a subtle richness to the casserole.
Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces and spread them evenly in the baking dish.
Ensure the biscuit pieces are evenly spaced for uniform baking.
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then drain any excess grease.
Breaking the sausage into small crumbles helps distribute it evenly in the casserole.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
Press the layers gently to ensure they settle evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the layers in the baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture slowly to ensure it spreads evenly.
Prepare the gravy according to the package instructions and pour it over the casserole.
Let the gravy cool slightly before pouring to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
