Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

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.
