Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled

10 pancakes (store-bought or homemade)

6 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

    Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

      Prepare Pancakes: If using homemade pancakes, make and cool them first. Cut the pancakes into quarters. If using store-bought, prepare them as per package instructions.

        Mix the Liquid Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

          Layer the Casserole: Start layering by placing half of the pancake pieces in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage over the pancakes, and then add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat this layering process with the remaining pancake pieces, sausage, and cheese.

            Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered pancakes, sausage, and cheese, ensuring everything is well soaked.

              Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm with extra maple syrup and fresh fruit, if desired.
