Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Make the sausage gravy: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of milk, continuing to whisk until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of milk or cream until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the bake: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters and layer the pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces, spreading it evenly. Layer the scrambled eggs over the gravy, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown on top.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the egg bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake as a warm, comforting breakfast that’s sure to satisfy any appetite!
