Ingredients
Scale
- 450g breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 8 large eggs
- 240ml milk, whole or 2%
- 120ml heavy cream (optional)
- 200g shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 100g shredded mozzarella cheese

- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the crumbled sausage until thoroughly cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Grease a 23×33 cm baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Evenly arrange biscuit pieces across the base.
- Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit layer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and biscuits. Scatter 150g cheddar and all the mozzarella cheese on top, reserving the remaining cheddar for later.
- Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, top with leftover cheddar, and continue baking for 15–20 minutes until golden and set.
- Allow to rest for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Slice and serve warm.
