Ingredients
Base
- 2 refrigerated biscuits
Protein
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 2 large eggs
Dairy
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables & Garnish
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the casserole.
- Prepare the biscuit base: Press one refrigerated biscuit flat into the bottom of each of two well-greased ramekins, creating the crust for the casserole.
- Mix eggs and cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream. Season this mixture with salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences.
- Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Layer sausage in ramekins: Divide the cooked sausage evenly, placing half into each ramekin over the biscuit base.
- Add egg mixture: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the sausage in each ramekin, allowing it to seep into all the spaces.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each ramekin to add a rich, melty layer.
- Bake the casserole: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh burst of flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can swap the breakfast sausage for turkey sausage or a vegetarian alternative to modify the recipe.
- The biscuit base can be substituted with refrigerated crescent rolls for a different texture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrients and flavor.
- Make sure your ramekins are oven-safe and well greased to prevent sticking.
- This recipe is easy to double or triple if serving more people—adjust baking time accordingly for larger portions.
