Instructions

8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits.
9. Spoon the sausage gravy over the eggs and biscuits.
10. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
11. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, the biscuits are cooked through, and the cheese is melted and golden.
12. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
