This Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Bubble-Up Bake takes all the things people love about a classic big breakfast—eggs, sausage, peppers, cheese, and Pillsbury™Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits—and bakes them into one warm, savory, crowd-pleasing dish. It’s called a “bubble-up bake” because the biscuits rise as they bake, creating a soft, fluffy base that holds the cheesy egg mixture and turns into a golden crust around the edges. Every bite is comforting, flavorful, and perfect for serving a hungry morning crew. This easy recipe is great for holiday breakfasts, weekend brunch spreads, or busy mornings when you want something hearty and homemade with minimal prep. It’s colorful, satisfying, and built to bring people back for seconds.
All you need is 7 simple ingredients to make this brunch-worthy breakfast egg bake. Here’s what you’ll need.
Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits: Pressed into the pan, they bake into a tender, golden crust that “bubbles up” through the filling.
Eggs: Heads up, this recipe takes almost a full carton of eggs! If you’d like to use some egg whites instead, you can replace 6 of the eggs with 12 egg whites (2 large egg whites = 1 large egg). We wouldn’t recommend using all egg whites for this recipe, though, because the texture and flavor won’t turn out as well.
Pork Sausage: This adds tons of rich, savory flavor to the whole dish. For a milder take, substitute 1 pound ground turkey or pork seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Onion brings a light sweetness, while green and red bell peppers add color and freshness to balance the richness. Shredded cheese melts into the eggs for gooey, cheesy pockets in every bite. We loved cheddar for this recipe, but you can use any shredded cheese you have on hand.
Here’s a quick overview of how to make this easy egg bake. Keep scrolling for the full recipe directions!
In a 10-inch skillet, cook the sausage with onion and bell peppers until the meat is browned and the veggies are softened; drain well.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then stir in the cheddar and the sausage mixture.
Press 8 Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits into the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Pour the egg and sausage mixture over the biscuit base. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a 375°F oven or until the eggs are set and the crust is deep golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut, serve, and enjoy!
This bake reheats well! Leftovers make a great breakfast for busy mornings later in the week.
Store extra Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Bubble-Up Bake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
We wouldn’t recommend freezing this breakfast bake, because the biscuits may turn out soggy and dense when thawed.
Microwave individual portions on high for 1 minute, then in 30-second intervals as needed until hot.
Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) ceramic or glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In 10-inch skillet, brown sausage, onion, and bell peppers; drain well.
In large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in cheese and sausage mixture.
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Press biscuits into bottom of baking dish.
Pour egg and sausage mixture over biscuit crust.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until eggs are set and crust is deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
A platter of fresh seasonal fruits is the perfect go-with for this hearty breakfast dish.
You can easily customize this recipe with any veggies you have on hand. Chopped broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms are all tasty options. For extra flavor, you could add canned green chiles or chopped jalapeños!
