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!

I added sautéed onions and red pepper to it. Got rave reviews.
Onions and red peppers sound like perfect additions. Glad everyone enjoyed it!
Really yummy!! I’ll be making this again! It bakes up really high then falls a bit. Easy and delicious!Make it!
Thank you for sharing!! So glad to hear that you enjoyed the casserole!
My daughter made this and we loved it.
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that!
So good and so easy! A win for sure. The family loved it!
Thank you!! I’m so glad you all loved it!
Made this for my MIL’s birthday brunch and it was a hit! We didn’t have precooked sausage available which was ok because it only took a little under 10 minutes to cook. I had to make a few other modifications since we were at our second home and didn’t have the regular pans I am accustomed to using when cooking. The baking pan was larger than 9X13 so I used enough biscuits (in a bag) to fill the bottom of the pan, a carton of eggs, additional milk and cheese since I was making a larger batch, and I threw in some seasoning for the eggs and bell peppers. Everyone raved about how delicious it was and many went back for seconds. I could easily make a vegetarian version with veggie crumbles and look forward to doing that in the future. Thanks for such a simple, delicious recipe!
Oh you’re so welcome! I’m glad that the casserole was a hit for your family. And you made-do with what you had too… I love it! A veggie version would be really tasty too. Thanks for sharing!
So yummy! I used turkey sausage. I added mushrooms and bell peppers to it. I used Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
Mmm sounds like wonderful additions!! So glad you enjoyed the casserole and adapted it to what you like!
I’ve used this with crescent rolls and biscuits, with great results. I’ve also used cooked chopped link sausage, bacon, and ham — whatever I’ve had on hand. Same with the cheese. I usually make a half recipe for an 8×8 pan and cook at 400 for about 30 minutes. Works great. As long as I stick with the correct milk and egg measurements, it all works. I have it bookmarked, and have probably made it 10 or 15 times. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thanks for sharing!! I’m so happy to hear this is one of your favorite/go-to recipes too.
This was gobbled up last night by the family. Came out delicious and perfect.
I have to tell you I made your breakfast casserole for dinner last night… it’s similar to one that I have made for 15+ years (it uses crescent rolls and regular sausage)… but I have to admit that I like yours better!!! 😜😜😜.
Not only was it super nice not having to cook the sausage (because that just takes forever) but it was much more dense because of the biscuit and it rose much more which made it more filling…
Definitely give it a solid Two thumbs up from me and thumbs up all around from my breakfast for dinner loving happy family!
Thanks for a great recipe.
I’m so happy that you and your family liked it so much! Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite meals and I’m glad this casserole turned out so well for you. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This was SO delicious! I had company and made one pan of this as written, and also made a mostly dairy-free version (I am sure the biscuits have some dairy in them, but I used oat milk and omitted the cheese). This is definitely a keeper! I just made another mostly dairy-free pan to take to work for breakfast this week and I cleaned out my produce bins in the refrigerator, adding onions, poblano peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. I can’t wait to eat this at my desk in a couple hours. It definitely helps me make it through my Monday mornings! Thank you for the recipe!
You are so welcome! I love all of the additions you used in the casserole. I hope it turned out tasty for you! Thanks for sharing!
I made the smaller version of this using a quiche dish. I could only find a 10 piece roll of small biscuits which was plenty. It was quick and easy to make and, I thought, delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Glad to share 🙂 Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Omggg! Sooo good and easy to make.
I made my own gravy from another Pin.
Will make again!
Glad you’ll make it again! Thanks for letting me know!
Made it (the 8×8 size) and it was gr8 !! Except I didn’t use pre-cooked sausage, I fried up my own.
Ooh I bet the fresh cooked sausage tasted delicious in the casserole! Thanks for sharing!
