Step 4: Sprinkle cooked sausage evenly over biscuit pieces in individual pieces.
Step 5: In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 6: Pour egg mixture evenly over sausage and biscuits.

Step 9: Let stand 5 minutes at room temperature before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
PRO TIP:
Don’t skip draining the sausage fat! Too much grease will make this good breakfast casserole soggy instead of fluffy.
