Time 8h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as necessary and for greasing the baking dish
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
7 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties, crumbled
8 ounces sharp white Cheddar cheese, shredded
4 scallions, sliced
Pure maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish; set aside. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter in a microwave-safe small bowl or liquid measure; microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the butter.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3 tablespoons of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 2 eggs and the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a little of the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Working in batches, pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and small bubbles appear on the tops, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other sides, about 2 minutes. If the pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. Transfer the pancakes to a plate as finished. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary. (You should have at least 12 pancakes.)
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, the remaining 5 eggs, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, the pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Shingle half of the pancakes in the prepared baking dish. Scatter with half of the sausage, sprinkle with half of the cheese and scallions. Pour half the egg mixture evenly over the pancakes. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, sausage, cheese, scallions and egg mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to overnight to allow the pancakes to soak in the custard.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap, cover the casserole loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until golden brown, the custard is set and the center feels firm but springy, about 30 minutes more. Let cool 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with maple syrup if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Use a breakfast sausage that you enjoy the taste of. You can use mild, spicy, or even Italian sausage, depending on your preference.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked all the way through before adding it to the casserole. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. You can use cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until it's golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it's golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

This sausage cheese pancake breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or breakfast. It's also a great way to use up leftover sausage and pancakes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying breakfast that the whole family will love.
