Ingredients

Scale

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

  • 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (prepared according to box but baked 10 minutes less than directed, underbaked by 5 minutes)
  • 1 reserved garlic herb butter packet from biscuit mix

Egg Casserole

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt, to taste
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake the underbaked biscuits: Prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to package directions but reduce baking time by 10 minutes so the biscuits are set but lightly colored and firm enough to hold together. This ensures they remain slightly underbaked for the casserole.
  2. Preheat and grease the baking dish: Set your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a thin even coat of grease to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of biscuits.
  3. Arrange biscuit pieces: Break the underbaked biscuits into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish, ensuring every bite in the casserole has biscuit coverage.
  4. Add cooked sausage: Evenly scatter the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage over the biscuit pieces to avoid dry pockets and properly disperse meat throughout the casserole.
  5. Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth with no visible egg streaks remaining.
  6. Incorporate cheese and pour custard: Stir the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, then pour this custard evenly over the biscuit and sausage layers in the baking dish, ensuring it soaks into the biscuit layer.
  7. Bake the casserole: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, the biscuits are golden brown, and the center does not jiggle when gently shaken.
  8. Apply garlic herb butter glaze: Immediately after removing the casserole from the oven, brush the top with the reserved garlic herb butter from the biscuit mix. This glaze adds flavor and a glossy finish to the casserole. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Underbaking the biscuits initially ensures they finish cooking perfectly in the casserole without becoming dry.
  • Use freshly cooked breakfast sausage for best texture and flavor; substitute with cooked bacon or ham if preferred.
  • Adjust garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • The casserole can be prepared the night before—assemble and refrigerate, then bake when ready.
  • Ensure the custard mixture evenly saturates the biscuit layer for a moist, tender texture.
  • Use whole milk for creaminess, but 2% milk can be substituted for a lighter dish.
