Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (includes dry mix + seasoning packet)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (extra sharp recommended)
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or any milk alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked crumbled chicken sausage or chopped rotisserie chicken (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to package instructions by mixing the dry biscuit mix with cold water and shredded cheddar cheese until combined.
- Arrange Biscuit Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread gently without flattening completely, allowing room for the dough to expand during baking.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional paprika until well combined.
- Combine and Add Meat: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit dough in the baking dish. If using, sprinkle the cooked crumbled chicken sausage or chopped rotisserie chicken evenly over the top.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken sausage and add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Ensure biscuits are not flattened to allow for proper rising and fluffy texture.
- The casserole can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
- Use extra sharp cheddar cheese for a more robust flavor.
