Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Bubble-Up Bake

Recipe Ingredients

All you need is 7 simple ingredients to make this brunch-worthy breakfast egg bake. Here’s what you’ll need.

Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits: Pressed into the pan, they bake into a tender, golden crust that “bubbles up” through the filling.

Eggs: Heads up, this recipe takes almost a full carton of eggs! If you’d like to use some egg whites instead, you can replace 6 of the eggs with 12 egg whites (2 large egg whites = 1 large egg). We wouldn’t recommend using all egg whites for this recipe, though, because the texture and flavor won’t turn out as well.

Pork Sausage: This adds tons of rich, savory flavor to the whole dish. For a milder take, substitute 1 pound ground turkey or pork seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Onion brings a light sweetness, while green and red bell peppers add color and freshness to balance the richness. Shredded cheese melts into the eggs for gooey, cheesy pockets in every bite. We loved cheddar for this recipe, but you can use any shredded cheese you have on hand.

1. Brown the Sausage Mixture

In a 10-inch skillet, cook the sausage with onion and bell peppers until the meat is browned and the veggies are softened; drain well.

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then stir in the cheddar and the sausage mixture.

3. Build the Crust

Press 8 Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits into the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish to form an even layer.

Pour the egg and sausage mixture over the biscuit base. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a 375°F oven or until the eggs are set and the crust is deep golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut, serve, and enjoy!
