Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and both green and red bell peppers to the skillet with the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.1 pound breakfast sausage, 1 medium onion, 1/2 cup green bell pepper, 1/4 cup red bell pepper
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of milk until smooth and well combined. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.12 large large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Spread the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then, pour the creamy cheese mixture over the sausage and vegetables, spreading it gently to cover most of the surface. Finally, pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over everything.1 pound breakfast sausage, 1 medium onion, 1/2 cup green bell pepper, 1/4 cup red bell pepper, 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 12 large large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg mixture.2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly over the cheese-covered egg mixture. Try to place them relatively close together to create a cohesive biscuit topping.1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- Drizzle or brush the melted butter evenly over the tops of the biscuit pieces.1/4 cup melted butter, 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the casserole is heated through. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheese to become perfectly melty.2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Notes
Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes for individual portions, or 25-30 minutes for a larger amount. Microwave reheating is also an option for a quicker meal, but biscuits may not be as crisp.
