Description

Start your morning right with a Pancake Sausage Breakfast Bake, a satisfying blend of sweet and savory flavors that combines fluffy pancakes, savory sausage, and melty cheese into a comforting and quick breakfast casserole. Ideal for busy mornings or weekend brunches, this hearty dish is customizable, easy to prepare, and perfect for feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • Your favorite homemade or store-bought pancake mix
  • Eggs (to enrich batter)
  • Milk (to create creamy texture)

Protein and Cheese

  • Ground breakfast sausage
  • Shredded cheddar cheese

Additional Ingredients

  • Butter or oil (for greasing baking dish)
  • Salt and pepper (to season)
  • Optional: maple syrup or honey (for drizzling on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage: Cook the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Mix the pancake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake batter as directed on the package or your homemade recipe. Add eggs and milk to enrich the batter and stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Combine ingredients: Gently fold the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the pancake batter. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the mixture has a uniform blend of sweet and savory elements.
  4. Assemble the bake: Grease a baking dish with butter or oil and pour in the batter mixture evenly. Spread it out to fill the pan, creating a thick layer ready for baking.
  5. Bake until golden: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let it cool and serve: Allow the Pancake Sausage Breakfast Bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite breakfast sides.

Notes

  • Use warm sausage: Let the cooked sausage cool slightly to keep the batter from becoming too hot and affecting texture.
  • Don’t overmix batter: Stir gently to keep the pancakes fluffy and light once baked.
  • Grease generously: Prevent sticking and make serving easier by thoroughly buttering or oiling the baking dish.
  • Test for doneness: Use a toothpick or knife inserted into the bake to check; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
  • Customize cheeses: Mixing different cheeses can add depth and creaminess.
