Biscuit Breakfast Casserole {& GIVEAWAY}

Kim

I have been using eggs for a good while now, so when they contacted me with this opportunity to host a brunch and offered a fun giveaway for you guys, I jumped on it!  I love brunch. It’s not breakfast, it’s not lunch…you can pretty much get away with anything for the menu. It’s a great time to change up those  (like this Biscuit Breakfast Casserole), combine breakfast and lunch items, such as with breakfast pizzas, just let your imagination go.  Unless your family is like mine…in which foods must be boring basic, non-spicy, and “normal”.  If they found spinach in their breakfast casserole, they would fah-reak.  *sigh*

Thankfully, I was able to come up with a few dishes that were winners all around.  That’s one of the great things about eggs, they are so versatile! I’m so thankful that my son is no longer allergic to eggs as it has opened up a whole new world in the way of menu planning!  Since we eat so many dishes with eggs now (we also LOVE breakfast for dinner…brinner?) it is nice to know that Eggland’s Best eggs offer more than your ‘average egg’.  They have 10 times more vitamin E;  double the amount of omega-3’s; twice the amount of vitamin D; 3 times more vitamin B12; 25% less saturated fat and 38% more lutein. I know, wow!

 So what eggs-tremely (haha, couldn’t resist) delicious dishes did I serve? 

This Biscuit Breakfast Casserole with sausage, eggs, and cheese was pretty delicious.  I especially liked mine with a little sausage gravy. We Southerners like gravy on most anything 🙂

Biscuit Breakfast Casserole 

adapted from Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Casserole by  

1 lb breakfast turkey sausage
7 Eggland’s Best eggs
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup fat free half and half

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
8 frozen buttermilk biscuits, slightly thawed, halved (I used Grands)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Lightly spray a 7×11-inch dish with cooking spray.
  • Brown sausage in pan, breaking into chunks. Drain fat if necessary.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, half and half, cream, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Slice each biscuit in half with serrated knife. Place biscuit bottoms in baking dish.
  • Sprinkle half of cooked sausage over biscuits and top with half of the cheese.
  • Place remaining biscuits on top of cheese, and sprinkle with remaining sausage.
  • Pour egg mixture over biscuits.
  • Bake 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese over casserole and bake until eggs are set, about 10-15 minutes longer.
  • Let casserole stand 10 minutes before serving.
I’m also loving this idea for mini breakfast casseroles! You make it in a muffin pan, which would have been great for brunch.
We also had Breakfast Pizza, similar to this . This  from the  also looks pretty amazing. The site has LOTS of good looking recipes if you want new ideas. (They also have a special going on right now for a free for Facebook fans, click on the link to learn more.) There was also delicious fruit salad, grits, and maybe a mimosa or two.

  21. I wish I liked runny eggs because they look so pretty, but I need a hard fried or scrambled. I love how puffy your biscuits got in that picture!
