Notes
- Adding cheese: feel free to add some shredded cheddar as a layer over the sausage and nestle some between the biscuits.
- No heavy whipping cream? You can use half and half instead of the milk and heavy whipping cream mixture. (So use 1 3/4 cup of half and half.)
- Storing: refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of baking, covered tightly in the baking dish or in an airtight container, for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Freezing: wrap individual baked pieces tightly in plastic wrap, then put them in a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 to 3 months, and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating: microwave single slices, covered, on a microwave-safe plate. For larger portions, cover loosely with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, a little longer for a full pan.
