Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 8 large Pancakes
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
While the sausage cooks, prepare the custard mixture by whisking together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the pancakes into quarters and layer half of them evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage over the pancake layer. Follow with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining pancakes, sausage, and cheese.
Pour the egg and milk custard mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the dish, ensuring everything is well soaked.
Let the strata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the pancakes to absorb some of the custard.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the strata is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.
Remove the strata from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve warm.
