It sounds great but in your directions you say to mix eggs and milk together but you do not mention milk in your list of ingredients. So, how much milk is to be added to eggs?
It looks like 1/2 cup of milk in the picture.
I'm guessing 1/2 cup of milk based on the picture of ingredients. Sounds yummy doesn't it? I can't wait to make it!
The recipe says 1/2 cup of milk which is listed in the ingredients after the eggs.
1/2 c
It's delic I make it every year for our bunch at Christmas but double the recipe and I also add a couple to 3 cups of hashbrowns
I want to double and use the hashbrowns, how long and at what temperature? Can I make them the night before and refrigerate? I'm taking to a work breakfast.
Thanks!
I like my hash browns fried with onions and on the side
Recipe does say 1/2 cup.
it has 1/2 cup of milk in the ingredients list.
This recipe is awesome I made a couple changes I used 1 cup pepper jack and 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese and used Jimmy Dean's sage sausage added 1 red bell pepper 1 onion 1 small can sliced mushrooms 7 eggs instead of 6 and cooked for 1 hr and 5 mins supreme
Did you add 2 extra cups of cheese to the 2 cups already called for?
Can you make in microwave we came up north with all the ingredientes and no stove
Hi Sam, I have never tried it in the microwave. I'm sorry. I would be concerned it wouldn't cook all the way through. The edges might get done and you'd have a raw center. BUT, having said all that, I haven't tried it so can't say for certain.
Hello! Another Sam with a similar question here. We go camping as well and like to find recipes that can be thrown together the night before and cooked in the crock pot (much easier when camping). How do you think this would turn out in a crock pot? Thanks!
It states 1/2 milk in the list of ingredients.
I ask the same question...you don't list the milk??
Sorry for the confusion! Yep, it's 1/2 cup milk!
You DID say 1/2 C. milk in your recipe, at least I saw it !
It looks yummy! But can the gravy be make as a side?
2 cups of water seems like it would make it soggy.
Hi Leeca! It doesn't make it soggy at all - it adds a ton of flavor to the biscuits. 🙂 But you could certainly serve the gravy on the side if you'd like.
I make my gravy after the casserole is baked and pour over them top
Most packets of gravy mix around here are .87 ounce. To get the equivalent of 2.75 oz. mix, you would use 3 packets, which would make more sense of using 2 cups of water.
Could you use cooked crispy bacon bits instead of the sausage? I can't eat sausage. If you can use bacon, how much would you use?
You could certainly use bacon, I would start with a 1/2 pound and see if it looks to be enough.
I'd say a lb. Cubed ham would be good. . All you want . 2 cups?
I am just wondering if you have any leftovers and have reheated it? Sounds delicious!
I did have leftovers and just covered it up and popped it in the fridge. In the morning, we reheated it in the oven again. It reheats really well!
Great recipe! How long do you reheat it for? At 350
My family will love this breakfast casserole!
I hope they do - thank you Joanne!
ok. yummmmmmmmmm!
Can u cut this down
Do you mean cut the recipe in half? You sure could!
2 c of each type of cheese for 4 c total?
I see the confusion - sorry. No it is a total of 2 cups of cheese. I bought the bag of mixed cheeses (combination of Colby & Monterey Jack cheeses.) I hope that helps!
Hi Brandie!
I'm making this as I type this and you forget to mention your kitchen will smell AMAZING!!! I know this recipe will give me lots of cool points with the hubby!
Thanks <3
We made this today and the biscuits were still doughy after 55 minutes.
Looks and smells delicious though...waiting a few minutes for it to cool and settle.
You have to later exactly as she says. I put three eggs in once before the cheese and the dough was soggy too. You can't prepare it before hand either. Same thing will happen.
We made this today and it is delicious!
Saw this A few weeks ago and I made it for breakfast. We LOVED it so I am making it tonight for dinner. Thanks for the great recipe.
Woo hoo!! Thanks so much for coming back to let me know you loved it Sue!
Have you ever left the biscuits whole? Do they cook the same?
Thank you so much for this recipe. I just made it today. (actually made 2) Sent one with my daughter to a breakfast, and made one for us at home. It was fabulous! I will definitely be making this again. I was leary with all the liquid, but it all cooked up wonderfully! Thank You again.
Yahoo!! Love hearing that Johnna!!
Can you freeze this and microwave it. Later
If I wanted to make it ahead and freeze it, should I freeze it after assembly then thaw it to cook? Or should I cook it then freeze it, and thaw it and warm it up to serve?
HI ... Can you prepare this the night before and just pop it into the oven in the morning?
This is a new family favorite! Throw in hash browns on the side! My guys love it and now my mother in law wants me to make it for Christmas breakfast this year.
This is really good! I halved the recipe. I let it set for about 10 minutes before serving--it cut into perfect squares. I served it with salsa which added color and extra flavor. I will be making this again. Thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe. --Rocquie
Just copied this recipe and can't wait to try it. It got some good comments.
Hope you love it!
I did a test run of this recipe in preparation for Christmas morning. I cooked for 45-50 minutes and the biscuits came out burnt (everything else was great!). I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm working with a brand new gas stove - it seems to be cooking meals much more quickly than my old electric stove was. Anyways, my question is this: if. I reduce to cooking time to 35-40 minutes, do you think the eggs will still be cooked? I'm afraid of serving uncooked eggs to my family on Christmas morning (:
I would also try moving the rack to the center of the oven maybe, or higher than it is? That's my problem when things burn on bottom, but I don't have a gas stove.
Would Crescent rolls work?
How good this sounds...has anyone added diced peppers and onions? Vegetables for breakfast too ! Thank you for this wonderful treat !
A nearby restaurant specializes in breakfast bicuits. So, to imitate their most popular recipe, I added 4 chopped up fried chicken tenders, over half a pound of crisp bacon, and 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper to the gravy.
Love that idea! You can never go wrong with bacon (and chicken!) Ha!
