Go-To Breakfast Casserole

This month I wanted us all to share recipes of some kind with y’all. I’m sure they’ll be some great meal, household, and personal care recipes on the blog this month. I can’t wait to see what the other ladies share with us!

Mary Helen is sharing today and I assure you, it’s a yummy recipe.

I absolutely love this recipe. Anytime we have a breakfast or brunch I bring it along. It’s perfect for parties, ladies’ meetings, family breakfast, etc. It’s totally customizable to your taste and, what’s even better, your ingredients on hand!! Feel free to make the night before and pop it in the oven for a super fast and filling breakfast. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Ingredients:

* biscuit dough

* 8 eggs

* 1/2 cup of half & half

* breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)

* 2 cups shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Directions:

Step 1

Press biscuit dough into a buttered (or sprayed) 13×9 baking dish.

Here’s the first reason I say this is customizable. First, today I’ve used biscuit dough made by a mix. I followed the simple directions on the box of Bisquik. I’ve used homemade biscuits from scratch, canned biscuits, even canned croissants. Use a pie crust and your casserole will be more of a quiche type recipe! You can use any type of pan for this. You can see I’ve
used glass, but I’ve also used cake pans but my most favorite is throw away foil pans (No dishes to clean=happy Mama!).

Step 2

Pour crumbled sausage over the dough.

 Try this with sausage of any kind (we have venison a lot at my house), bacon or bacon bits. When I have taken this to ladies’ breakfast I’ve done versions with veggies. Onions, mushrooms, bell pepper, and even zucchini squash are just a few of the things I’ve added (Make sure to per-cook down your veggies).

Step 3

Scramble those beautiful yard eggs with 1/2 cup of half & half.

 Not so many eggs? No worries! Just add whatever you do have. I have done as many as ten in a large foil pan or five in the 13×9. Just makes for a thinner casserole. Also, the half and half is just to make the eggs creamier and soft but not a must either.

Step 4

Any casserole is better with cheese! Add the cheese on top!

 You can use any kind of cheese for this. This is Cheddar/Monterrey mix. I’m sure even sliced would work just watch to make sure it does not brown to fast. Feta is a GREAT option to go along with the veggies and pie crust I mentioned! Perfect girly quiche! 🙂

Step 5

Bake for 20-30 minutes

Sorry but I can’t be more precise with this. My oven is not the most powerful. The top will not be soupy, will be firm to the touch and, of course, golden brown!!

Slice and Serve!!!  I would say this can easily feed up to 8 people with nice size servings. Now take it and make it your own!
