Total Time: 40-45 mins
Servings: 4
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 count)
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage or ground pork
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Omnia Oven
Place the Omnia oven base on your RV or camp stove over medium heat. Let it heat for about 3 minutes while you prepare the ingredients . Preheating helps ensure even cooking from the start.
2. Cook the Sausage and Vegetables
In a skillet on your camp stove, cook the breakfast sausage with the diced onion and bell pepper until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set aside. You can also cook the sausage directly on the griddle for that extra smoky flavor.
3. Prep the Biscuits
Cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces in a large bowl.
4. Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined and slightly frothy.
5. Combine Everything
Add the cooked sausage mixture and half of the shredded cheese to the bowl with the biscuit pieces. Pour the egg mixture over everything and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
6. Prep the Omnia Pan
Generously grease the Omnia baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking . If you have the Omnia silicone liner, place it in the pan for even easier cleanup .
7. Assemble the Casserole
Transfer the biscuit mixture to the prepared Omnia pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.
8. Bake to Perfection
Place the pan onto the preheated Omnia base and cover with the lid. Bake over low to medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes. Important: The Omnia can be hotter at the bottom, so keep the heat moderate to prevent burning . The casserole is ready when the eggs are set and the biscuits are golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
9. Rest and Serve
Remove the Omnia from the heat and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. This allows it to set and makes it easier to serve. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Omnia Oven Breakfast Biscuit Casserole
Temperature Control on Your Camp Stove
One key to success with the Omnia oven is managing the heat. It can run hotter at the bottom compared to the top, so it’s often better to cook at a lower temperature for a longer time to prevent burning . Start with medium heat to get the oven up to temperature, then reduce to low or medium-low to maintain a steady bake.
Using the Omnia Silicone Liner
Using the Omnia silicone liner makes cleanup incredibly easy and prevents sticking . If you don’t have the liner, simply grease the Omnia baking pan generously with butter or cooking spray. The Omnia form must always be well greased, and when baking, it’s recommended to dust it with flour as well .
Customizing Your Casserole
This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can swap the breakfast sausage for cooked bacon, ham, or chorizo. Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or different types of cheese. The Omnia oven works with any of your favorite casserole recipes .
The Perfect Biscuit Texture
For the best results, don’t overmix the biscuit mixture. The biscuits should be gently folded in to keep them fluffy. The Omnia’s steam vents help keep the top from getting soggy while baking .
Variations to Try
Bacon and Cheddar Biscuit Casserole
Swap the sausage for 8 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon. Use sharp cheddar cheese for extra flavor. The smoky flavor of the bacon is a classic pairing with the fluffy biscuits.
Sausage Gravy Biscuit Bake
Add 1 cup of prepared sausage gravy to the egg mixture before baking. The creamy gravy creates an even more indulgent casserole that’s perfect for a special campsite breakfast.
Veggie Breakfast Biscuit Casserole
Skip the meat and add sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach. The gentle heat of the Omnia oven brings out the vegetables’ natural sweetness.
Southwest Biscuit Casserole
Add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin to the egg mixture. Top with pepper jack cheese and serve with salsa and sour cream.
Ham and Swiss Biscuit Casserole
Swap the sausage for diced ham and use Swiss cheese instead of cheddar. The combination is a delicious twist on a classic breakfast.
Storage Instructions
Storing Leftovers
Place leftover casserole in an airtight container and refrigerate within 2 hours. It will stay fresh in your camper fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating Without Drying Out
The best way to reheat is back in the Omnia oven over low heat for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also reheat individual portions in a skillet over medium heat. Microwaving is quick but may make the biscuits slightly softer.
Freezing for Future Trips
This casserole freezes well for up to 2 months. Place it in a freezer-safe container and thaw in your RV refrigerator overnight before reheating in the Omnia oven.
