Key Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled; drain the excess fat and set aside.
  3. Cut each individual biscuit from the can into four equal quarters and spread them in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Scatter the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined, then pour the mixture over the layers in the dish.
