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.
