FOR THE GRAVY, MELT:
This sausage & egg breakfast casserole can go straight into the oven, or to make it ahead, assemble it the night before, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake in the morning.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°. Coat a 7x11-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
For the casserole, brown sausage in a sauté pan over medium heat, breaking into chunks; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve drippings for sage gravy.
Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, salt, and black pepper in a measuring cup.
Layer biscuit bottoms in prepared dish. Sprinkle half the sausage over biscuits, top with half the Cheddar, add biscuit tops, and remaining half of sausage. Pour egg mixture over top; bake 30 minutes.
Sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top and bake casserole until center is set, a thermometer registers 165°, and a toothpick inserted into a biscuit comes out clean, 10–15 minutes more. Let casserole sit 10 minutes.
For the gravy, melt butter in reserved sausage drippings in a sauté pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth; cook 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk until mixture is smooth.
Cook gravy until slightly thickened, 5–8 minutes. Stir in sage and pepper flakes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper.
