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 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.

Recipe FAQ

Divide leftovers into an airtight container(s) and keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Ok I’ve made this twice. I followed the recipe to the T the first time and 425 had my kitchen smelling like burnt biscuits. The 2nd time I set the oven to 400 and everything looked good until I cut the casserole. Everything was cooked but the cheese and sausage cooked around the biscuit which left it dry like it needed syrup or something. So I will not be making again.
Has anyone prepped the night before and baked the next morning?
I have not, but it should be ok 🙂
Do you think this is adaptable for the crockpot? I’m bringing it to work and want to keep it warm. Thanks!
I am sure it could, though I have not tried, so I am not sure how I would exactly do it. I would need to experiment to see what works.
Any idea that the number of servings it is and the amount of carbs are per serving? I only ask because I’m diabetic and need to plan my carb intake very closely.
I am sorry, I do not have the nutrition information. There are sites you can convert recipe. You can get anywhere from 12-16 servings, depending on how big you cut them.
I made this for dinner tonight and hubby and I both loved it! It turned out perfect. I’m wondering if you have the nutritional info…especially the calories? I have lost 30 lbs. (yay, me!) and have 50 to go. Thaks for this fabulous recipe!
That is so awesome to hear!! You go girl!! Unfortunately, I do not have the nutritional info. There are sites though that can convert it 🙂 Keep it up!
I added up the calories for each ingredient then divided by 10 servings and came up with approximate calories per serving. Leftovers for dinner tonight!!
I tried this as a brunch for Mother and I. We both LOVE it! Thank you so much for an easy prep, delicious meal idea.
I am so glad you both liked it!! Thank you for trying it & for letting me know!
Any tips to help me turn this into a freezer meal? Cook it and then freeze it? or assemble, freeze, then bake? Thanks!
Hmm..good question! I haven’t tried freezing it. I would probably bake it, then freeze it. Then I would just warm it up before serving. It might work, before cooking, too. I will have to try it!
Do you throw the jimmy dean sausage into reipe while it is still frozen? I got the bag that has sausage, potaties, green peppers and onions. Wasnt sure if i just throw that in frozen?
Yes 🙂 Enjoy!
Love this! Only had flaky biscuits and not sure if thats why, but some eggs got underneath. Came out layered! Oh so yummy! Glass pan, 425*, 22 minutes. Perfection! Thank you! This will now be a regular in our home.
Love to hear that!! Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
I have made this recipe several TIMES & everyone loves it! Only thing I can figure out is why everytime the eggs ends UP as the bottom layer?!
I am glad they do!! Yeah, they do & never know what makes it end up that way, but it does & we love it?
Hi. Can you make the biscuit egg sausage casserole the night before and bake in the morning?
You sure could 🙂 I hope you like it!
Thanks!!
