Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups (12 ounces) cooked crumbled sausage*
• 1 bell pepper, chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 and 1/2 cups crumbled or shredded cheese (I use feta cheese)
• 10 large eggs
• 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) whole milk
• 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Biscuit Topping

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder (yes, Tablespoon!)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, divided (6 Tablespoons (85g) cold, 2 Tablespoons (28g) melted)*
• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
• topping: fresh ground black pepper, extra fresh parsley, extra cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Layer the sausage, peppers, then cheese into prepared pan. Whisk the eggs, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Pour evenly over meat + cheese. Set aside.
3. Make the biscuit topping: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl or use the food processor. Add the 6 Tablespoons of cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or pulse several times in the processor. Cut/pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add the milk, then stir/pulse until the dough comes together. Dough will be very shaggy and a little wet. If it’s too dry, add another Tablespoon of milk. With floured hands, form the biscuit dough into about 20 1.5 Tablespoon size balls. They don’t have to be perfect or neat, see my photo above as an example. Arrange on top of the eggs.
4. Brush the biscuits with 2 Tablespoons of melted butter and top with a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper, extra parsley, and extra cheese, if desired.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
6. Cover leftover casserole tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
