  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk Use dairy or non-dairy milk as needed.
  • ½ cup maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • as needed Butter or cooking spray For greasing the baking dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cook the sausage according to package instructions and crumble it into small pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Layer half of the pancakes at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Evenly distribute the crumbled sausage over the pancakes.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and pancake layers.
  7. Add the remaining pancakes on top.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

For variations, consider adding cheese, veggies, or using bacon instead of sausage. Make-ahead strategies include assembling the casserole the night before or prepping components separately.
