Ingredients for Recipe with Grands Biscuits

Store-bought biscuits meet hearty fillings for a breakfast everyone will love.

The Grands biscuits are the foundation here—look for the 8-count flaky layers cans (usually near the refrigerated dough at Walmart or Target). Any brand works, but Pillsbury’s version has that buttery richness we’re after. The cheddar should be block cheese you shred yourself (pre-shredded has anti-caking agents that don’t melt as well). For the sausage, Jimmy Dean or Jones Dairy Farm are reliable choices.

No sausage? Diced ham or crumbled bacon at equal amounts. Vegetarian? Swap in mushrooms or spinach (sauté first to remove moisture). Skip the milk? Use half-and-half or cream for extra richness. The thyme is optional but adds depth—fresh rosemary at half the amount works too. Need more veg? Toss in diced onions or jalapeños with the peppers.

Bake and serve immediately—it’s best hot. Leftovers? Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven (microwave makes biscuits soggy). Freeze unbaked assemble for up to 1 month—thaw overnight before baking.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Flaky Layers Breakfast Bake

This method delivers crispy, golden layers with minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Biscuit Base

Preheat your oven to 375°F and pour the 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, allowing it to melt in the warming oven. This ensures every inch of the pan is coated for easy release and extra crispiness.

Open the 2 cans Grands Biscuits and separate each biscuit into two layers. Arrange half the layers in the buttered dish, pressing them together to form an even base. I press the edges slightly to create a seal—this prevents the egg mixture from seeping underneath.

Step 2: Add the Savory Filling

Sprinkle 1 lb Cooked Breakfast Sausage evenly over the biscuit base, breaking up any large clumps with your fingers. The sausage should be fully cooked and crumbled to ensure even distribution and safe consumption.

Next, scatter 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese and 0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper over the sausage. I like to use block cheese that I shred myself—it melts more smoothly than pre-shredded. The diced red bell pepper adds a pop of color and a subtle sweetness that balances the savory flavors.

Step 3: Layer and Pour the Egg Mixture

Add the remaining biscuit layers on top, pressing gently to adhere. In a bowl, whisk together the 6 whole Large Eggs, 0.5 cup Whole Milk, 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour, 0.5 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Black Pepper, and 0.5 tsp Dried Thyme until smooth. The flour helps stabilize the custard, giving it a creamy texture without curdling.

Pour this mixture evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to seep into all the nooks and crannies between the biscuit layers. You’ll see the liquid bubble slightly as it soaks in—that’s how you know it’s working.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and the center is set. Look for the edges to pull away slightly from the pan and the custard to jiggle just a bit when you give it a gentle shake.

If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. This dish is forgiving, but you want that perfect balance of crispy top and custardy center. The flaky layers should be golden and slightly puffed, with the cheese melted into gooey pockets.

Step 5: Finish with Fresh Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the custard to set fully and makes it easier to slice. Sprinkle the 4 whole Green Onions, thinly sliced, over the top for a fresh, oniony bite that cuts through the richness.

Slice into squares and serve warm. Each bite should have crisp biscuit layers, creamy egg custard, and pockets of melted cheese and savory sausage. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but reheats beautifully the next day.
