Instructions

Preheat and prepare the pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish or baking pan to prevent sticking and prepare for an even cook.
Slice the biscuit dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. These small pieces allow the biscuits to rise and bubble evenly throughout the dish.
Combine the eggs and milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated—this will be your custard base.
Layer ingredients in the pan: Place half of the biscuit pieces in the pan, then sprinkle half of the cooked breakfast meat and some shredded cheese on top. Add the rest of the biscuit pieces, followed by the remaining meat and cheese. If using vegetables, distribute them evenly across the layers.
Pour the egg mixture over: Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over the layered ingredients, making sure everything gets coated evenly to help the biscuits rise and absorb the custard flavor.
Bake to bubbly perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit pieces are golden, fluffy, and the custard is set. The cheese should be melted and bubbly.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier texture.
Cut biscuits evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
Whisk custard gently to avoid toughening the eggs.
Reserve some cheese as a final topping for a golden, bubbly crust.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to set and ease slicing.
