Scale
Base
- Fluffy biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade) – cut into bite-sized pieces
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional fresh herbs (chives, parsley, thyme) – chopped
Fillings and Layers
- 2 cups cooked breakfast meats (bacon, sausage, or ham), chopped
- 2 cups hash browns or diced potatoes (pre-cooked or frozen)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or blend of cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Cut your biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces. Using canned biscuits keeps preparation quick, but homemade biscuits add extra flavor and tenderness.
- Layer the Ingredients: Evenly spread the biscuit pieces in a greased baking dish. Add the cooked breakfast meats and hash browns as the next layer, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese to ensure every bite has a perfect balance of biscuit, cheese, and savory fillings.
- Make the Egg Mixture: Whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and any preferred fresh herbs. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish to bind everything together while baking.
- Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and bubbly, allowing the biscuits to rise and meld the flavors.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to set slightly, making it easier to cut and enhancing the eating experience.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and quality cheese for better flavor and texture.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; give the biscuits enough space to puff up evenly.
- Cook breakfast meats thoroughly beforehand to avoid extra grease in the casserole.
- Mix different cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack for a gooey texture and flavor depth.
- Allow the casserole to rest after baking to help slices hold together for neat servings.
