• 1 lb breakfast sausage (beef or turkey)

• ¼ tsp garlic powder

How to Make Biscuit Breakfast

I love turning quick ingredients into crowd-pleasing mornings. This Biscuit Breakfast comes together fast, guiding you from stove to oven with simple steps.

Step 1: Preheat oven and grease the pan

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Brown the sausage

Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat. Tip: Save a touch of browned bits for extra flavor.

Step 3: Combine biscuit pieces with sausage, cheese, milk and seasonings

Place the quartered biscuits in a large bowl. Add the cooked sausage, cheddar, milk, pepper, and garlic powder. Gently toss to coat without over-mixing. Don’t worry about every piece being drenched; the butter keeps them moist.

Step 4: Pour melted butter into pan and layer biscuit mixture evenly

Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of the pan. Spread the sausage-biscuit mixture on top without stirring. Then drizzle the remaining butter over the top to ensure a golden crust. Do not stir; this keeps each bite fluffy and buttery.

Step 5: Bake and rest

Bake, uncovered, for 35–40 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through. Let it rest 5 minutes before serving this Biscuit Breakfast.

Biscuit Breakfast Make-Ahead and Freezer Tips

I love make-ahead breakfasts because chaos often comes with the alarm. For Biscuit Breakfast, I assemble the sausage-cheese-biscuit mix and refrigerate it unbaked for up to 24 hours.

It still tastes fresh, and I wake up knowing brunch is sorted.

Freezing and reheating from frozen

Bake from frozen at 375°F for 45–60 minutes, covering if needed. Check center with a toothpick; it should come out clean and the biscuits golden. Let it rest a few minutes before slicing.

Biscuit Breakfast FAQs

Can I use pork sausage or turkey sausage?

Absolutely. I swap pork sausage or turkey sausage in Biscuit Breakfast without changing the steps. Pork adds the classic, savory bite and a richer mouthfeel, while turkey keeps it lighter and leaner. If I pick turkey, I sometimes add a touch more cheese or a splash of milk to keep it moist. Either way, the butter swim bake yields a golden, hearty result the whole family loves.

Is this recipe dairy-free or gluten-free?

Yes, you can make Biscuit Breakfast dairy-free and gluten-free with a few swaps. Use a dairy-free cheese substitute and a plant-based butter or olive oil for the melted butter; replace milk with almond, soy, or oat milk. For gluten-free, choose gluten-free biscuits or a gluten-free biscuit mix; bake as directed but watch bake time for the specific brand.

How long will leftovers keep in the fridge, and how should I reheat?

Leftovers store well for 3–4 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for speed or in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes to keep the biscuits moist and the cheese melty. If it looks dry, splash a little milk over the top before reheating to refresh the texture.

Can I bake this from frozen, and how does it affect time?

Yes, you can bake Biscuit Breakfast from frozen. Bake at 375°F for 45–60 minutes, covering if the top browns too fast, until the center is set and the biscuits are golden. Let it rest a few minutes before slicing to finish the melt and keep every bite juicy.
