Dry Ingredients
Protein
- 1 lb breakfast sausage links
- 4 large eggs
Dairy
- 2 cups whole milk (or almond milk)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
Other
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Non-stick baking spray
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage links until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow the sausage to cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces to be layered in the lasagna.
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, eggs, and milk until the batter is smooth with a thick but pourable consistency, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and prepare for layering the ingredients.
- Layer the Ingredients: Pour half of the pancake batter evenly into the baking dish. Then, evenly distribute half of the sliced sausage pieces over the batter, followed by half of the shredded cheese. Repeat this layering process with the remaining batter, sausage, and cheese. If there is any leftover batter, pour it over the top to cover the layers.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is cooked through and fragrant.
- Serve: Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the top generously with maple syrup before cutting into portions and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk for whole milk to make the dish dairy-free.
- Use mozzarella cheese if you prefer a milder flavor than cheddar.
- Maple syrup adds a sweet contrast to the savory layers — adjust the amount to your taste.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
- To ensure even cooking, use a medium-sized baking dish, approximately 9×9 inches.
