Cozy Ingredients

Easy Directions

- Place it in the oven, uncovered, for 30–40 minutes till you see it bubbling, the top is golden, and the center is set a toothpick should come out clean and those biscuits are nice and fluffy
- Smother With Cheese and Gravy:
- Layer handfuls of cheddar over the top then dollop on the warm country gravy using a spoon get the gravy as even as possible for that classic creamy finish
- Mix Up Eggs:
- Whisk eggs, milk, and oregano in a bowl till it is smooth pour slowly all over the sausage to make sure it soaks in
- Scatter The Sausage:
- Spread the cooked sausage and onions all over the biscuits try to cover the whole dish so every scoop gets some
- Drop in the Biscuits:
- Chop up the biscuit dough into little pieces then scatter them right in your buttered pan they'll puff up as they bake
- Sizzle Your Sausage:
- Start by melting butter over medium heat then toss in the chopped onion with the sausage cook while stirring and breaking up the sausage until it's cooked through and the onion's translucent about 8–10 minutes drain off any excess fat
- Prep the Pan:

I love the biscuit bottoms soaked with all that gravy not a dry mouthful in sight My youngest always helps cut the dough pieces and loves pouring the gravy on this one's a total team effort in our kitchen
Keeping It Fresh
Wait for everything to cool down, then pop into the fridge covered tight with foil or inside a storage container It'll last three days in the fridge Want to freeze it? Wrap each slice up really well and reheat at 325°F in the oven to keep that biscuit layer from getting mushy
Swap It Up
Switch out regular sausage for a spicy one if you want more heat or try turkey sausage for a lighter bite Prefer a different cheese? Monterey Jack and pepper jack both melt great Want to skip store-bought gravy? Just cook some flour with milk for a quick homemade version
How To Serve
Scoop out portions while it's hot, and if you like, pour on some extra gravy Serve it up with fruit or a leafy green salad For brunch, offer coffee and maybe some fresh citrus juice to round it out nicely
