eggs

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cut each biscuit into eighths.

Line bottom of the dish with the biscuits.

Sprinkle 1 pound hot sausage, cooked and crumbled evenly over biscuits.

Then sprinkle 2 cups shredded colby and monterey jack cheeses evenly over the sausage layer.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with 1/2 cup milk (for two minutes) and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the cheese layer (do not stir.)

In a medium bowl, combine 2.75 ounce packet country sausage gravy with 2 cups water (or milk). Whisk until combined. Note: milk will make it creamier. Pour gravy over egg mixture layer (do not stir.)

Cover and bake on the middle rack for about 45-55 minutes (or until biscuits are done). If the biscuits still aren't done, remove the aluminum foil and continue to bake until they are no longer doughy on the inside.

Slice and serve with extra country gravy, if desired.
