- 6 to 8 biscuits stale and cut into quarters
- ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
- ½ green bell pepper diced
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ½ onion diced
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups Gruyère cheese shredded
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish
Cook the sausage and veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving some of the fat in the pan. Add the diced bell peppers and onion, sautéing until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
Assemble the bake: Spread the quartered biscuits evenly in the greased baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, and 1 ½ cups of shredded Gruyère cheese.
Make the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture evenly over the biscuit mixture, pressing down slightly to help the biscuits absorb the custard.
Let it rest (optional, but recommended): Allow the casserole to sit for about half an hour, up to overnight, before baking to ensure the biscuits soak up the egg mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of Gruyère in the last 5 minutes of baking for extra melty goodness.
Serve & enjoy: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Make-Ahead Tip:
Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed in the morning, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
Storage & Reheating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes for a crispier texture.
