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!

    Absolutely delicious

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Glad you think so ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you for trying them!

  2. Amy says:

    Do I bake covered or uncovered? I make a different egg breakfast casserole and it cooks covered. Thanks!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      This one is uncovered. Hope you try it ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Acina says:

    I’m going to have 6 people for breakfast Christmas morning so this is what I have decided to make for them. I will more than likely be adding green onions on top. I do like the idea of adding peppers and tomato to it and maybe even some mushroom. I do want to put it all together tonight but I am worried that the biscuits will absorb too much egg and be soggy….Has anyone tried waiting for morning to bake it? Maybe this is why some peoples biscuits are floating to the top?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      How did it turn out? I hope it was a hit!

    This recipe is much requested at our house. Just made it for a family Christmas brunch and it disappeared in just a few minutes. Weโ€™ve tried it with green chilies on top too- so yummy!

    I have made this casserole for several years now for our Christmas Brunch…..only thing different is I make a package of Pioneer Brand Peppered Sausage Gravy Mix & pour it over the top & I also cut the biscuits into quarters. It is a family favorite. So easy & good. My nephew likes it so much that I make him one for his birthday & he is so happy!!!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Love hearing that! Thank you for sharing that!

  10. Alice says:

    Can you start out with eggs that are already scrambled? I’d love to try this, but my daughter refuses to eat baked eggs of any kind (texture issues).

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      The eggs help form the batter part of the casserole, so not sure how it would turn out if you used scrambled eggs. You can’t tell once it’s baked ๐Ÿ˜‰
