Description

Imagine waking up to the comforting aroma of a hearty breakfast casserole, a dish designed to satisfy even the heartiest appetites. This biscuits and gravy casserole is a symphony of textures and flavors, perfect for a weekend brunch or a make-ahead weekday breakfast. Fluffy, savory biscuits form the foundation, each bite offering a delightful contrast to the creamy, rich gravy that blankets the entire dish.

The biscuits, crafted with care, possess a subtle tang and a deeply satisfying savory note. Their tender crumb, achieved through the generous use of butter, mirrors the flakiness of a perfectly made pie crust. Nestled among these golden biscuits is a simple yet flavorful egg mixture, enriched with the sharp, comforting taste of cheddar cheese.

This cheesy egg batter seeps into every nook and cranny, ensuring each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. But the star of this casserole is undoubtedly the velvety gravy. Infused with a medley of seasonings and the savory essence of pork sausage, the gravy is thick, luscious, and deeply flavorful.

It not only adds moisture to the casserole but also elevates the dish to a new level of indulgence. The well-seasoned gravy ties all the components together into one unified and delicious breakfast experience. It is a comforting taste, reminiscent of classic breakfast dishes, but with a uniquely satisfying twist.

This versatile casserole lends itself well to customization. Consider incorporating finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, celery, or spinach into the egg batter for added color, flavor, and nutrients. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses – swap the cheddar for your favorite variety or introduce the creamy tang of cream cheese.

Adjust the seasonings in the gravy or egg batter to perfectly match your palate. This recipe invites you to personalize and create your own signature breakfast masterpiece. While the biscuit dough includes yeast, it's important to note that it won't rise in the same way as a traditional bread dough.

The yeast's primary role is to impart a subtle flavor and contribute to the dough's overall texture, adding a depth of flavor that elevates the biscuits beyond a simple base. The result is a tender, flavorful biscuit that perfectly complements the rich gravy and cheesy egg filling. Whether preparing it ahead of time for a convenient morning meal or assembling it fresh for a special occasion, this biscuits and gravy casserole is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

    1.
    Whisk the almond milk, heavy cream, and honey together in a mixing bowl until the honey is broken up. Add the dry yeast and the first amount of almond flour to the bowl. Gently stir the ingredients (don whisk), then set the bowl aside for 5-10 minutes. The yeast is activated when it s fragrant and small air bubbles appear on the surface of the milk.
    2.
    In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment combine the second amount of almond flour with salt and garlic powder. Cut cold butter into small cubes and add them to the mixer. Mix the ingredients at medium speed until the butter softens and breaks up into small, pea-sized, flaky pieces (this may take 5 minutes or longer). Next, mix the egg yolk, egg, and liquid yeast mixture with the dough hook until a wet and loose batter forms.
    3.
    Mix in the third amount of almond flour until a wet and sticky but uniform dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and cover it in plastic wrap. Set the dough aside in a warm place to ferment for at least 1 hour. Although the dough will not rise, you will see some moisture collect on the plastic wrap, the dough will be warm, and you should be able to touch the dough lightly without it sticking to your fingers.
    4.
    While the dough is fermenting, make the sausage gravy. Break up ground pork in a saute pan, and cook the meat on high heat until it browns. Break up the sausage into crumbly pieces so the gravy is easy to pour later. Next, Reduce the heat to low and melt the butter into the pan. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle tapioca flour over the pan. Stir and cook the pan over medium heat until the flour turns slightly golden.
    5.
    Pour heavy cream, almond milk, and chicken broth into the pan, and stir the ingredients together. Let the liquid simmer until the flour thickens it. Then, season the gravy with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, caraway seed, and dried thyme. Continue simmering the pan until the liquid reduces to a gravy with the consistency of chowder. Leave the gravy aside to cool and thicken more until you need to use it later.
    6.
    When the biscuit dough and gravy are both ready, turn on the oven to preheat to 350 degrees. Spray an 11x7 baking dish liberally with pan spray. Fill the base of the pan with approximately 12, 2-tablespoon portions of biscuit dough. Arrange the dough portions in a 4x3 rectangle to fill the baking dish. Pour about half of the sausage gravy over the biscuit dough portions.
    7.
    In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Carefully pour this mixture into the baking dish, making sure not to fill it too fast and lift the biscuits up. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake it for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and pour the remaining gravy over the casserole.
    8.
    Bake the casserole uncovered for a final 40 minutes, equaling a total of 60 minutes of baking. For doneness, look for a golden top with darker edges. There shouldn be any excess liquid in the bottom of the dish, and some edges may naturally pull away from the dish as well. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing into portions for serving.
