Tips for the Best Breakfast Casserole
- The Right Biscuits Matter: Stick with smaller refrigerated biscuits (not Grands) for the perfect texture. They bake up fluffy and golden without overpowering the dish.
- Coffee Makes It Special: Java Momma’s I.B. Dragon Coffee is the perfect choice for this recipe. Its bold flavor balances the creamy gravy beautifully.
- Cheese It Up: Colby Jack cheese melts like a dream, but you can swap it for sharp cheddar or pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Let It Rest: After baking, let the casserole rest for 10 minutes. This helps the layers set and makes slicing a breeze.
How to Serve
This casserole is a showstopper on its own, but pairing it with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad adds a refreshing touch to balance the rich flavors. Don’t forget to serve it with a steaming pot of Java Momma coffee to bring the meal full circle!

One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Try these fun variations:
