“PANCAKE BREAKFAST BAKE”

Bisquick pancake & baking mix
1 lb. breakfast sausage
4 eggs, divided
4 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
Maple syrup, for serving
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Mix up a batter of pancake mix for 1 batch of pancakes. Cook 3 large pancakes. Set aside finished pancakes. Cook sausage, breaking into small pieces, until cooked through in large skillet seasoning with salt & pepper as needed (don’t use too much salt as sausage has a lot of salt in it). Set aside cooked sausage. Wipe skillet clean & add a drizzle of oil. Add 2 eggs to skillet & let cook into round shape, roughly the size of one of the pancakes. Flip eggs so they cook through or cover the skillet to cook the top of eggs. Slide out cooked eggs & repeat with next 2 eggs. This will make 2 big round egg discs. In large round casserole dish (or on baking sheet), build “lasagna” with pancake first, topped with one egg disc, followed by half of the grated cheese and half of the sausage. Repeat layers a second time and top with last pancake. Bake for 15 mins to melt cheese and heat everything through. Slice & serve with syrup.
