Make
-
Heat oven to 375F / 191C degrees. Brush an 8 x 8 square baking dish (for 4 servings; adjust if customizing) with some cooking oil or coat with some cooking spray.
-
Heat a large skillet with cooking oil over medium heat. Add bell peppers with a pinch of salt and saute until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add sausage to the pan and saute until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold in green onions and saute for about 1 minute more.
-
Remove from heat and drain off any excess grease. Transfer sausage and vegetables to the prepared baking dish.
-
Pour egg mixture into the baking dish and stir to evenly combine everything.
-
Drop biscuit dough by small spoonfuls onto the surface of the eggs, spacing them apart to cover the whole dish (don’t worry if they’re a bit messy or uneven since they’ll expand to fill in the gaps as they bake).
-
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until the biscuit tops are golden brown and the center is just set, 30 to 35 minutes (note that larger pan sizes may need to cook longer). Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
-
While eggs are baking, make the fruit salad. In a large serving or mixing bowl, whisk together honey and lemon juice. Pile grapes, oranges, and kiwis on top and toss to combine.
-
Slice egg bake into squares.
-
Serve egg bake with fruit salad on the side. Enjoy!
