FAQ

Biscuits And Gravy With Sausage And Egg Breakfast Casserole Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• You can switch out the refrigerated biscuits for a homemade biscuit recipe or even quick drop biscuits if you have the time and the ingredients on hand
• If you don’t have breakfast sausage, turkey sausage is a solid alternative or you might try a veggie sausage for a lighter twist
• Instead of whole milk, many folks use 2% milk or even almond milk if you’re trying to cut down on calories a bit
• If cheddar cheese isn’t available, pepper jack or mozzarella can add a fun twist to the flavor
• And if you run out of butter, olive oil or margarine works just as well for making the roux

Pro Tips

1. When browning the sausage, make sure you drain off all the excess grease. It not only helps keep the casserole from being too oily but also makes the flavors even richer overall.

2. For the roux, keep stirring constantly and dont rush it. If you let it burn even a little bit, it can give the whole dish a bitter flavor so just take it slow.

3. After the casserole comes out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. This rest time really helps the gravy settle and makes it easier to serve without everything falling apart.

4. If you want to add a little extra kick, consider tossing in some chopped herbs or a pinch of your favorite spice over the gravy before adding the cheese. It can really boost the flavor without messing up the basic recipe.
