Other

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Biscuit Dough: Evenly spread the quartered biscuit dough pieces across the bottom of the greased baking dish to create a biscuit base.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add Fillings: Stir the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions into the egg mixture evenly.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the egg and filling mixture evenly over the biscuit dough pieces in the baking dish, ensuring it spreads out well.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole for a cheesy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking. Slice into portions and serve warm for a satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute sausage with bacon or make it vegetarian by omitting the meat and adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and refrigerated, then reheated for a quick and easy weekday breakfast.
- Use reduced-fat cheese or sausage options for a lighter version.
- Ensure eggs are fully cooked before consuming to food safety standards.
