Southwestern Egg Bake

If you are looking for a delicious breakfast casserole, look no more.  This dish is great for holiday mornings, brunch, potluck, ect...
Yesterday morning,  I decided to make this Southwestern Egg Bake.  I usually make an egg bake for holiday breakfasts with frozen hash browns but the biscuits, peppers and onions looked delicious so I decided to give it a try.
What surprised me was how fluffy and light it was.  I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

Ingredients
1 package  pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
10 eggs
1/4 cup of half and half
2 cups of mild cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp of Red Pepper flakes
1 can of refrigerated biscuits

1. Heat oven to 375°F. In a skillet, cook sausage, onion and bell pepper over medium-high heat, drain.  
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and half and half.
3. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, the pepper flakes and sausage mixture. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.  
4. Spray Cooking spray in a 13x9 casserole dish.  Place biscuits in dish . Pour sausage mixture over biscuits. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese. 
5.  Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes
