Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Seasonings and Optional Add-ins:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- ½ cup chopped spinach
- ¼ cup sauteed onions or mushrooms
- ½ cup cooked vegetables like broccoli or zucchini
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare the cheddar bay biscuit mix according to package instructions. Slice the prepared biscuits into quarter-sized pieces and distribute them evenly across the greased baking dish.
- Grab a mixing bowl and vigorously whisk 4 large eggs with 1 cup milk, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until completely combined.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese generously over the biscuit pieces, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture across the biscuits, making sure every piece gets thoroughly saturated.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter across the entire surface of the casserole.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the eggs are completely set and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to help it set.
- Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped chives before serving warm and delicious.
Notes
- Swap out regular cheddar biscuits for gluten-free options if preparing for anyone with wheat sensitivities.
- Use a sharp cheddar for maximum flavor punch, which helps elevate the entire breakfast casserole.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to ensure smooth, even distribution throughout the baking dish and prevent any egg clumping.
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking, which helps set the eggs and makes cutting and serving much easier.
