Filled with biscuits, eggs, and sausage, our favorite breakfast casserole is hearty, feeds a crowd, and bakes up in only 30 minutes!
Our Go-to Breakfast Casserole recipe!
We LOVE a good breakfast casserole! This one is filling, takes minutes to put together, and is packed with flavor. Biscuits, eggs, and sausage, there’s something for everyone!
It’s our go-to breakfast bake! We make it for brunch, holidays, and weekends (for breakfast OR dinner). One reason we love it is because the ingredients are SIMPLE!! There are only a handful, and it’s prepped in 5 minutes – just layer and bake!
It can be made ahead of time (the night before) or easily whipped up right before baking – versatile AND delicious!
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- Refrigerate overnight or bake it immediately. Either way, this breakfast casserole is quick and easy!
- Ready in no time! Throw it together from scratch in 5-10 minutes, pop it straight into the oven, and enjoy it 30 minutes later.
- So filling. Biscuits, eggs, and sausage – it’s hearty and packed with flavor!
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 25 minutes
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands Biscuits (8 count) – or 16 ounces Homemade Biscuit dough (partially cook before adding the toppings to ensure it cooks thoroughly.)
- 1 (8-ounce) package Jimmy Dean precooked sausage crumbles (or 1 cup crumbled cooked sausage) – or turkey, chicken sausage, or spicy chorizo
- If using regular sausage, cook in a skillet over medium heat cooking the sausage, breaking and flipping, until no longer pink.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – or Pepper Jack cheese or Colby Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – mild or sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 large eggs, beaten – Room temperature eggs incorporate better.
- 1 cup milk, room temperature – We like to use whole milk or 2% milk.
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional veggies – Saute and add spinach, mushrooms, and red bell peppers.
- optional toppings – green onions, bacon bits, sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce
How to Make A Breakfast Casserole
- PREP. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- BISCUITS. Line the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish with 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough, firmly pressing to seal and make a bottom crust.
- SAUSAGE. Sprinkle with 8 ounces of cooked sausage, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the crust.
- EGGS. In a medium bowl, whisk 8 eggs, 1 cup milk, and salt and pepper to taste until blended. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.
- BAKE. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set and middle does not jiggle. Let this egg bake recipe stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm.

Looks so yummy! Do you think I could use pilsbury croissants instead?
I haven’t tried it using them, but I imagine you could. You’ll have to let us know how they turn out if you end up swapping for the croissants.
My kids regularly ask for this casserole and i change nothing. I have run out of the mozzarella but i’ve used just cheddar and it’s still just as good. i have over baked it twice and it still tasted delicious no one complained! it has replaced my other breakfast casserole recipes all i do is substitute crescent rolls at times. Excellent recipe thank you.
Oh you’re welcome!! I’m so glad to hear this has become a new family favorite!
I made this tonight. The only change I made was cutting up each biscuit into 9 pieces and scattered them on the bottom. It made it more a bubble up that way. I also used cream instead of milk that I needed to use. This was super good! One of my favorite breakfast casseroles I’ve tried for sure!
Yay!! I’m so glad to hear you loved the casserole. Thanks for sharing what you did too.
How do you keep biscuits from over cooking on bottom?
I’d suggest not cooking it on the bottom rack of the oven. That should help with the bottom overcooking.
made did not like dough to egg ratio
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Has anyone tried to make this ahead and then bake the next morning? Trying this recipe this weekend for the first time. Thanks in advance!
You definitely can do that! Instead of throwing it in the oven to bake, cover it with foil and refrigerate it until you’re ready to make it in the morning. Hope the casserole turned out well for you last weekend!
A really winner! Assembled the night before – Used turkey sausage and added sautéd onions!

So glad you enjoyed this casserole! Your additions sound tasty too.
I made this today and its delicious!! I ran into the biscuits floating to the top so the egg was underneath and sausage, cheese, and biscuits were on top. It still tastes amazing though!
Thanks for sharing. So so happy to hear you enjoyed the casserole!!
Very good especially when warmed up for following day.
Thank you!! Yes, this is a great recipe for leftovers. Thanks for giving it a try.
