Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for cooking and greasing)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Maple syrup or honey, for serving
  • Diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms) for variation
  • Chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy twist
  • Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the breakfast sausage until cooked through and slightly crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease, then set aside.
  2. Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, milk, and eggs according to package directions or your homemade recipe. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Bake: Grease a baking dish with butter or oil. Layer half of the cooked sausage evenly on the bottom. Pour half of the pancake batter over the sausage, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining sausage, batter, and cheese on top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown, puffed, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple syrup or honey and fresh fruit or your choice of sides.

Notes

  • Cook sausage thoroughly to ensure it’s safe to eat and flavorful.
  • Do not overmix pancake batter to preserve fluffiness.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even cooking and browning.
  • Allow the bake to rest before cutting to prevent it from falling apart.
  • Add fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives to brighten flavor and appearance.
