This Biscuit Egg Breakfast Casserole recipe is filled with biscuits, cheese, eggs and sausage, and takes only minutes to throw together! It’s a family favorite for weekends and holidays!
We’ve always been huge fans of breakfast foods and often have them for dinner, which means we enjoy them ALL THE TIME. Breakfast casseroles now have become a staple – like our French Toast Casserole and Sausage Egg Casserole.
Breakfast casserole with biscuits
What I like most about breakfast casseroles is they are delicious, usually take minutes to put together, and are easy to change up with different meats (ham, sausage, bacon), veggies and cheeses!
This easy breakfast casserole recipe has been one we’ve made for many brunch occasions, holidays and weekends. It’s loved by the entire family and has become our go-to breakfast bake.
We also love that it is super simple and takes just a few minutes to throw together. If you are like us, and enjoy a great breakfast casserole, then you should definitely give this a try.
How to Make
A lot of breakfast casseroles require you to assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight before baking. This sausage and egg casserole, however, doesn’t have to refrigerate at all!
You can throw it together from scratch in 5-10 minutes, pop it straight into the oven, and enjoy it 30 minutes later.
MEAT. If cooking meat, brown in large skillet until no longer pink and drain grease/fat.
ASSEMBLE. Line bottom of greased 9×13 inch baking dish with biscuit dough, firmly pressing to seal. Sprinkle with your choice of meat (we prefer sausage) and shredded cheese. Whisk together eggs, milks, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until blended, then pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.
BAKE. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes, or until set. We recommend letting the casserole rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Variations
Although these are the standard ingredients, you can change up the flavor by adding:
- onions
- spinach
- mushrooms
- chopped bell peppers
- chopped bacon (or even use in place of sausage)
These can be added to the large mixing bowl, when whisking together the eggs. You can also top with green onions, chives or avocado.
BAKING NOTES
Note: Oven temperatures can vary. Make sure to bake the casserole for a little more or less time depending on your oven. You don’t want the casserole to be runny, or to dry out so adjust cooking time as needed.
- When you think it’s done, stick a knife into the middle and see how soft it is. This will help to make sure it’s cooked to your liking.
- In addition to sticking a knife into the middle of the casserole to check for doneness, you can also jiggle the pan slightly to see if the center moves too much. When the center is firm, your casserole is done.
- If your casserole appears to be too runny, it probably needs more time to cook. Place it back in the oven and check for doneness at 5 minute intervals.
Making ahead and storing
MAKE AHEAD. If you’re wanting to make this recipe ahead of time, it’s super easy! 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.
STORE. You can keep leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Cooked eggs will only last about 4 days in the refrigerator.
FREEZE. If you happen to have any egg casserole left over you can keep it frozen in the freezer for up to 2 months. Keep it frozen in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to eat it, reheat individual servings in the microwave.
You can also freeze unbaked egg casserole up to 2 months and let it thaw in the refrigerator before you’re ready to bake it.
We also enjoy making this recipe for special occasions and holidays. It’s always a hit and is one we’ve made on Christmas morning many times!

Haven’t made this yet, but I love breakfast casseroles, and this one sounds amazing and easy. Will make this soon.
I actually made this casserole for breakfast today and it’s delicious! My only quirk is my egg mixture sunk below my biscuit dough? I layered everything according to your directions, and I baked it in a clear, glass baking dish. Do you know what might have went wrong?
Hmmm… I haven’t had that happen. But maybe the biscuits needed to be pressed together and to the sides a little tighter so there aren’t any cracks or any way for the egg mixture to sneak under there. Hopefully that would help!
Can I make the sausage biscuit casserole with biscuits from scratch?
I always have used the canned dough (mostly for simplicity and ease) but I don’t see why homemade biscuit dough wouldn’t work great too! You’ll have to let us know how it does turn out if you go that route.
I made this today for my family and it was very easy. However, after being in the oven for close to an hour, the dough was not cooked through. I baked it per the instructions and I have a brand new stove so I’m not sure what went wrong.
I’m not sure! Did you bake in a glass or a metal baking dish? Either should work, but glass might cook faster. So maybe that?
I made this but with a few tweaks. I browned sausage instead of using crumbles and I used 16 ounces. I also added a little garlic powder and onion powder to the eggs. I thought it might be a little dry so I made some sausage gravy and served it on the side. It was a great addition. If I make again I would probably use fewer biscuits or separate the biscuit layers. It was a lot of bread but may have been the biscuits I used. But overall, it was very tasty!
Thanks for sharing what you did and for giving the recipe a try!
Tasty but tgr top was brown but the biscuits were too doughy.
Excellent and so easy! We did a mix of bacon and chopped up sausage links. I saw some people didn’t like that the biscuit didn’t brown or that the egg seeped underneath… I actually loved those things about it! The only change I made from the recipe was adding a touch of garlic and onion powder to my egg mixture. Will definitely make again!
I was SO pleasantly surprised by this casserole. It’s beyond easy to put together, and it tasted amazing. I made a vegetarian version with no sausage and just bell peppers and onion, and it was still so flavorful. This will be my go-to breakfast casserole for sure.
I found your recipe and have literally made it for a few years now. It’s a tried and true yummy one that I love bringing to new moms or sick friends. Love it!
Making it for the second time today. Under leftover brisket for meat last time. Using applewood chicken sausage today. Quick and easy. Rhanks
