Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown the ground breakfast sausage for about 5–7 minutes until fully cooked.
  3. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir well for about a minute. Gradually whisk in the whole milk and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
  4. Cut the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits into quarters and arrange them evenly across the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the thickened sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces. Whisk together the eggs and a splash of milk, season it, and pour over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered for about 35–40 minutes until the egg is set and the top is golden and bubbly.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm.
