• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

4. Add sausage and cheese: Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Whisk the eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and biscuits.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
7. Cool and serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired.
