Preparing the Biscuits
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Making the Sausage Gravy
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Do not drain the grease.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Add Milk and Seasonings: Gradually stir in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Preparing the Egg Mixture
- Beat the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika until well combined.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Assembling the Casserole
- Layer the Ingredients: Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage gravy, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the biscuits are golden brown.
Serving
- Cool Slightly: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Cut the casserole into squares and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
