Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
Carbohydrates:
- 1 can (16 ounces/454 grams) refrigerated biscuits
- 2 cups (300 grams) frozen shredded hash browns
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and thoroughly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Sauté the breakfast sausage in a skillet at medium temperature, breaking it into small crumbles until fully cooked and browned. Carefully drain any accumulated fat.
- Slice the biscuits into uniform quarter-sized pieces, creating an even base layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit layer, followed by a consistent spread of hash browns and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Gently pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring complete and even coverage across the entire casserole.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until the eggs are completely set and the top develops a golden-brown crust.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5-7 minutes, enabling the ingredients to settle and making serving easier.
- Slice into portions and serve warm, garnishing with additional black pepper if desired.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for maximum flavor and better melting compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent excess grease making the casserole soggy and heavy.
- Select starchy, frozen hash browns for a crispy texture that holds up well during baking.
- Consider low-fat or turkey sausage as a healthier alternative without compromising taste and protein content.
