Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter
- 2 cups Pancake Mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole Milk or Almond Milk
For the Filling
- 1 pound Breakfast Sausage Links
- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese or Mozzarella
For Drizzling
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
Extras
- Non-Stick Baking Spray
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Heat your skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage links. Sauté them until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Stir gently until you achieve a smooth batter that’s thick yet pourable, taking care not to overmix to keep the layers fluffy.
- Preheat and Layer: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with non-stick baking spray. Pour half of the pancake batter into the dish, then evenly layer half of the sausage pieces and half of the shredded cheese over the batter.
- Repeat Layers: Pour the remaining pancake batter on top of the first layers. Follow with the remaining sausage pieces and shredded cheese. If there is leftover batter, pour it over the top to finish the layering.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Optionally, drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving for a sweet finish.
Notes
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Customize with different types of cheese or add sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for variation.
- To avoid tough layers, stir the batter just until smooth and avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Reheat frozen portions in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes after thawing overnight in the fridge.
