Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Eggs

  • 1 pound ground sausage (your choice of variety)
  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dairy

  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese or a cheese blend
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing)

Bread Base

  • 1 package Pillsbury biscuit dough or crescent rolls (about 8 oz)

Optional Herbs & Add-ins

  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: diced jalapeños, bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes for customization

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease to prevent the bread from becoming oily.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook them gently in a non-stick pan over medium heat until just set but still soft, avoiding overcooking to maintain a tender texture.
  3. Prepare the Bread Base: Roll out the biscuit dough or crescent rolls onto a parchment-lined baking dish, arranging them in a grid or overlapping square pattern to form the pull-apart sections that will hold the fillings.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage over the dough base. Add the scrambled eggs on top, then cover with a generous layer of shredded cheese. Repeat layers if the dish size allows, ensuring even layering for consistent flavor.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Brush the top with melted butter to create a golden, shiny crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese appears bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the breakfast bread cool for a few minutes before pulling apart to serve. This resting period helps the layers set so the bread doesn’t fall apart easily.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough to ensure even baking and a soft texture.
  • Don’t overfill the bread to maintain stability and ease when pulling apart.
  • Brush with melted butter before baking for enhanced flavor and a golden crust.
  • Drain sausage well after cooking to avoid soggy bread.
  • Add fresh chopped parsley or chives after baking for freshness and visual appeal.
