Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Step 3: Make the Gravy

• In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter.
• Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until it forms a smooth paste (roux).
• Slowly pour in the warm milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
• Pour half of the gravy over the sausage and biscuit layer in the dish, reserving the rest.

Step 4: Add the Egg Layer

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pour the eggs evenly over the sausage, biscuits, and gravy.
• Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top for richness.

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

• Place the baking dish into the preheated oven.
• Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
• Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 6: Serve with Extra Gravy

• Reheat the remaining gravy on the stove if needed.
• Spoon warm gravy over each serving of casserole for an indulgent finishing touch.
• Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.

Tips and Variations

• Make-Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, refrigerate, and bake in the morning for a quick breakfast.
• Cheese Lovers: Try mixing in Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack for variety.
• Spicy Kick: Use spicy breakfast sausage or add diced jalapeños.
• Vegetarian Option: Swap sausage for sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
• Lighter Version: Use turkey sausage and low-fat milk.
