Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked crumbled sausage
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled or shredded cheese (e.g., feta)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tbsp dried
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (for biscuits)
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (plus 1 tbsp if needed)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
  • Optional: extra black pepper, parsley, and cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer the cooked sausage, chopped bell pepper, and cheese evenly in the dish.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour over the filling in the dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Add milk and stir until a shaggy, slightly wet dough forms. Add an extra tablespoon of milk if needed.
  6. With floured hands, form about 20 biscuit balls (1.5 tbsp each) and place them on top of the egg mixture.
  7. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter and sprinkle with optional pepper, parsley, and cheese.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes until biscuits are golden and casserole is set. Let cool 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Version: Omit sausage and add spinach, mushrooms, or hash browns.
  • Different Cheese: Swap feta with cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or use spicy sausage.
  • Biscuit Shortcut: Use canned biscuit dough for convenience.
  • Add Herbs: Mix fresh chives or thyme into biscuit dough.
