- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Shredded (about 4 oz of block cheese)
- 1 can Buttermilk biscuits I used Annie's Organic Biscuits
Instructions
- If making the morning of, preheat oven to 350° F (175° C) and generously spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with spray oil.
- Green Chile Sausage Gravy In a large skillet (I love my cast iron skillets) brown the breakfast sausage until just browned and remove from pan, drain any excess fat (I used lean sausage, so left the little bit of fat behind for flavor).
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat, slowly whisk in flour until thickened, just a couple of minutes. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, it will thicken as you whisk it, keep whisking until smooth. Add diced green chiles, salt and return the sausage to the gravy, stirring to combine.
- If making the morning of, preheat oven to 350° F and generously spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with spray oil. In a small mixing bowl whisk eggs, milk and salt together. Cut the biscuits into 1/4s and place the biscuit pieces over the bottom of the pan. Pour egg mixture over the top of the biscuits.
- Sprinkle with cheese and place a few blobs of sausage gravy around the casserole, be sure to save most for serving. Bake 30-35 minutes until golden and eggs are set.Serve warm with a spoonful of the delicious green chile sausage gravy. Grab a napkin, drool will happen!
