This was SO GOOD! I have made biscuit and gravy for years and never thought to put green chiles in the gravy. I also put some in the egg mixture. We have fabulous green chilies here in Colorado that made this so good. Thanks!

Why I Love This Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake
Holiday times mean big food times, and big food times mean WE START WITH BRUNCH.
My love for this biscuits and gravy egg bake is borderline over-the-top. There are zero things not to love about a casserole-style dish of fluffy eggs and cheddar baked up with little bites of tender flaky biscuit pieces poking out the top, and buried under a blanket of creamy, savory, mildly spicy green chile sausage gravy.
It is THE brunch dish of 2020 for me because:
- It’s really, really delicious.
- It’s so easy.
- It’s a crowd favorite.
- Each piece gets smothered in green chile gravy.
- Repeat: green chile gravy.
- And how about just a little more gravy.
Food is my ultimate favorite way to bring little joys into the everyday, and in this season, HOLY SMOKES we need those little joys! We need that biscuits and gravy egg bake. We need extra sausage gravy. Whisk the eggs, grate the cheese, pop the biscuit pieces in there, and let’s eat.
Easy biscuits and gravy egg bake brunch for the win.

More gravy on top for extra deliciousness! Done.
Common Questions About Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake
It sure can! The egg bake can be prepped completely in advance and stored in the refrigerator. We’d recommend bringing it to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
You can also prep just the gravy beforehand and store it in the fridge, and then bake it together with everything else. This would be my recommendation!
Yes! We’d suggest replacing the pork sausage with mushrooms.
You can store leftovers of the egg bake covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
If you buy mild green chiles (instead of hot), then this is not spicy.
If you *are* looking for more of a kick, go for the hot green chiles!
My friend Sarah (of Sarah’s White Chicken Chili fame) told me about this recipe on Tasty a few years ago and I just finally got around to trying it! I changed up the layers a bit from their version, and I knew I had to make it a green chile gravy when I saw a local restaurant with biscuits and green chile gravy item on their takeout brunch menu, which is how we ended up at this delicious biscuits and green chile gravy egg bake point in our lives!

Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 6–8 generous servings 1x
Description
Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake! YES! A casserole-style dish of fluffy eggs and cheddar baked up with little bites of tender flaky biscuit pieces, and buried under a blanket of creamy green chile sausage gravy.
Ingredients
Green Chile Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb. breakfast pork sausage
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 can green chiles
Egg Bake
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12–ounce tube of buttermilk biscuits (about 6-8 biscuits), cut into small cubes
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Brown the sausage in a large cast iron skillet. Remove from pan. Drain off excess grease.
- Make the Gravy: Melt butter in the same cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour; stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, until a smooth gravy comes together. Add salt, diced green chiles, and sausage back to the gravy. Stir to combine.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with milk and salt.
- Assemble the Egg Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place half of the biscuits over the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan. Pour eggs over top. Sprinkle with cheese and dollop with some of the gravy (but save some gravy for later). Arrange with remaining biscuits. Bake for 35 minutes, until eggs are set.
- Eat Up: Serve slices warm from the oven, with a scoop of that green chile sausage gravy over the top (thin it out with a little more milk so it’s semi-pourable, since it usually thickens as it cools). Brunch dreams realized.

A breakfast bake that combines biscuits, eggs, and savory gravy sounds like the kind of hearty dish that makes a weekend morning feel special without requiring everyone to sit down to a complicated meal. I appreciate recipes that bring familiar comfort foods together in a practical way, especially when they’re easy to share with family. For a different kind of family-friendly activity after breakfast, ZdarmaOmalovanky.com offers plenty of coloring pages that let kids get creative while the adults enjoy another cup of coffee.
Delicious! Made it without the green chilis because we didn’t have any, and we all loved it. 1yr old included.
Any suggestions for gluten free for people with celiac? I love this recipe and we are hosting a Christmas brunch so would like to do some prep ahead of time.
It was a hit at our family breakfast, everyone raved about the combination of flavors. I loved how easy it was to make and how delicious it turned out. It has definitely become a new favorite at home!
I loved how you combined all the comforting flavors of the biscuits with the gravy and eggs in one dish. The texture is perfect: fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. In addition, it is an ideal recipe for a brunch with friends or a special breakfast with the family. It will definitely become a favorite!
This looks absolutely amazing! Perfect comfort food for brunch — can’t wait to try it out this weekend
This was DELICIOUS!😋 Right now it’s just me and my hubby, but I know when we have kids this will be a great Saturday morning breakfast hit!
Sooo good! Ours did not turn out as beautiful as yours but still really good!
I’ve made this recipe at least a dozen times, and it’s always a hit. The leftovers also keep really well–I can eat it for breakfast (or lunch, or dinner) all week.
It looks delicious, I’m going to try making the recipe with my little ones.
Just finished devouring this! Sooo good. Restaurant quality!
I don’t like the taste of biscuits in a can. Have you made it with raw biscuit dough? Thanks
We haven’t, but would love to hear how it goes if you give it a try!
Wow, this looks delish!! Do you think this would work in a crockpot? Maybe on low for 4 hours or so? I’ve got to bring breakfast to a youth group event and so I want it to stay warm during transport – unless you have other awesome ideas for how to do that! 😀
Hello, This subject very interesting. thanks for helpfull writing. this article very important and true.
maybe you should check this article. very helpfull
Well, this was amazing! Tasted like a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit in an easier, beautifully presented form! I will be saving this recipe for a future Christmas brunch casserole. My husband also does not like sausage gravy typically, but enjoyed this. We really liked the addition of the green chiles.
Delicious. I generally find egg casseroles to be uninspiring and most recipes to be the same, so for Easter brunch, I was on the prowl for an egg bake recipe that was more unique than most but still simple and able to be made the day before. This ticked all those boxes. I followed the recipe as listed with two very minor exceptions: all my ingredients were from Target, not Aldi, and my can of biscuits was slightly larger (14oz). The biscuits were so incredibly yummy in this that I didn’t regret having a little bit more! Everyone loved it!

This one looks too good. Thanks for sharing.
Made this recipe several times and it’s always so good!! One of our favorites!
Love this recipe! I’d like to make it for my in laws, but I would have to make it a few days in advance. Do you think I could freeze it, thaw it overnight, and bake it the day of?
We think that could work!
This dish looks so tempting. I will make it tonight
This is absolutely delectable! I made some biscuits a few weeks ago and frozen the leftovers; do you think it will fit in this recipe, or do uncooked biscuits have to be used? Thank you so much for all of your delicious recipes!
We’ve only ever tried this recipe using uncooked biscuits. Cooked biscuits may work, but I’d worry about them getting a bit dried out or even too browned. Thanks for the question!
Made for mother’s day brunch, and everyone loved it! So tasty. And the green chiles in the gravy were a revelation
I seriously feed this to everyone that comes to visit me! It has become a staple in our house. It’s a great comfort food kind of casserole.
We love hearing that, Rachel!
