Ingredients You’ll Need

This eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch keeps things deliciously straightforward. Every ingredient is chosen for maximum flavor, satisfying texture, and beautiful color. Here’s what you’ll need and why each one matters:

Butter: For sautéing the onions and sausage, adding subtle richness and helping everything brown beautifully.
Onion: Diced onion offers a hint of sweetness and a savory backbone that makes the whole casserole pop.
Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: Shortcut alert—these biscuits bake up fluffy and golden, soaking in all the flavor without any extra mixing bowls.
Breakfast Sausage: The meaty heart of the dish, giving each bite a classic Southern flair and tons of taste.
Eggs: Five eggs add structure, creaminess, and that classic breakfast vibe that pulls the casserole together.
Whole Milk: Lends the eggs extra creaminess, ensuring a custardy finish that contrasts so well with the biscuits.
Oregano: Just a teaspoon, but it wakes up the casserole with fresh, herby notes.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Melts into gooey pools of cheesy goodness over the top—need I say more?
Prepared Country Gravy: The finishing touch—spooned over the top, it adds nearly decadent comfort to every bite.

How to Make eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and give your 9×13-inch baking dish a generous coating of butter or nonstick spray. This ensures nothing sticks—and who wants to leave behind a single crumb of this casserole?

Step 2: Cook Sausage and Onions

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the diced onion and sausage. Cook, breaking up the meat, until the sausage is browned and the onions are soft and fragrant. Once cooked, drain off any excess grease so your casserole isn’t oily.

Step 3: Layer Biscuits in the Dish

Cut your refrigerated biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces—it’s perfectly fine if they’re a little rustic! Evenly scatter them in the greased baking dish. They’ll puff up wonderfully and form the casserole’s foundation.

Step 4: Add the Sausage Mixture

Spoon the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces, making sure every corner gets plenty of meaty, flavorful bits.

Step 5: Whisk Eggs, Milk, and Oregano

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and oregano. This mixture forms the creamy custard that holds the casserole together. Pour it evenly over the biscuit and sausage layers, letting it settle in all the nooks and crannies.

Step 6: Add Cheese and Gravy

Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese across the top for irresistible meltiness. Then, warm your country gravy and pour it in an even layer right over the cheese. This step turns a good casserole into pure breakfast magic.

Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection

Pop your eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch in the oven for 30-40 minutes. It’s ready when the top is golden, the cheese is bubbling, and the center is set. Grab your spatula—brunch is served!

How to Serve eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch

Garnishes

For a bright, fresh finish, add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives. A little hot sauce or a twist of black pepper can add zip and make each slice pop visually and flavor-wise.

Side Dishes

This casserole is filling, but lighter sides round out the meal beautifully. Try a crisp green salad, a bowl of mixed fruit, or even roasted tomatoes to cut through all the richness.

Creative Ways to Present

If you want to wow your guests, serve the eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch in individual ramekins or pair with mini jars of extra country gravy on the table. Style each plate with a colorful napkin and fresh herbs for a brunch they’ll never forget!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftovers of this eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch keep surprisingly well. Simply let the casserole cool completely, then cover tightly with foil or transfer to an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days.

Freezing

To freeze, portion out slices and wrap them individually in plastic wrap and foil, or store the whole casserole in a freezer-safe dish. It’ll keep its flavor and texture for up to two months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating

To bring your casserole back to life, bake covered at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes (add a splash of milk or extra gravy to keep things moist). Individual pieces can be quickly reheated in the microwave—just keep an eye so they don’t overcook.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated dough?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade biscuit recipe, feel free to use it. Just make sure to partially bake the biscuit pieces before layering, since homemade dough may need a little longer to cook through.

Is there a recommended sausage type for this recipe?

Breakfast sausage (pork or turkey) works best for that classic Southern flavor, but feel free to use spicy, maple, or even vegetarian sausage based on your taste preferences.

Can I make eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch the night before?

Yes! Assemble everything (except the gravy and cheese) and keep it in the fridge overnight. Add the cheese and warm gravy just before baking for the best texture.

What kind of gravy should I use?

Classic country or sausage gravy is ideal. You can use homemade or store-bought—just make sure it’s thick and creamy for the best coverage and flavor in the casserole.

How do I know when the casserole is done?

The top should be golden and the middle set (not jiggly) when you give the pan a little shake. If you insert a knife in the center, it should come out mostly clean, with maybe just a bit of cheese.

Final Thoughts

I can’t recommend this eakfast Casserole – Easy & Hearty Brunch enough—it’s the kind of thing you’ll want to make as soon as the weekend rolls around, and again the next week. Whether you’re sharing it with family, friends, or just treating yourself, each bite delivers pure comfort and joy. Give it a try and see why this casserole always steals the show!
