Description
Butter biscuit breakfast bake with fluffy biscuits, eggs, savory sausage, and melted cheese. An easy, filling breakfast casserole for families.
Ingredients
- 2 and 1 half cups all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk at room temperature
- 1 half cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 pound beef breakfast sausage
- 1 half cup finely diced yellow onion
- 10 large eggs
- 1 half cup whole milk
- 1 half teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 half teaspoon black pepper
- 1 and 1 half cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir just until combined.
- Pour the melted butter into the baking dish. Spoon the biscuit batter over the butter and gently spread it evenly to the edges.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef sausage and onion for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until fully browned and cooked to 160°F. Drain excess fat.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in both cheeses, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage layer.
- Bake for 40 minutes until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Resting allows the butter to absorb into the biscuits for the best texture.
