Print Recipe

A hearty and easy one-pan breakfast combining savory sausage, creamy scrambled eggs, and flaky buttery biscuits, perfect for busy mornings or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces breakfast sausage links or ground sausage
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream (whole milk preferred, half-and-half or dairy-free milk like oat milk also works)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 pre-made biscuits or homemade (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese (optional)
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links or crumbled ground sausage. Cook for about 7-9 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through with crispy edges. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with 1/4 cup milk or cream. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet with the sausage drippings, letting it melt and foam. Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit without stirring for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until eggs are softly set but still creamy. Remove from heat.
  5. Nestle the biscuits around the eggs and sausage in the skillet. If using raw dough, space them evenly.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs and sausage if using.
  7. Place the skillet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove skillet carefully from oven. Let cool for a minute, then sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Cook eggs low and slow to keep them creamy. Use sausage drippings to flavor eggs and biscuits. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, cook sausage and eggs in a regular pan then transfer to a baking dish for biscuits. Check biscuits starting at 12 minutes as ovens vary. For gluten-free, use GF biscuit dough. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep biscuits from getting chewy.
