Maple Breakfast Caserole (make ahead)

Maple Breakfast Casserole

As you have probably learned by now, I do not cook difficult meals.  This falls right in with the quick and easy!  Again, mine is gluten free as I used my gluten free bread which I made from the Gluten Free Pantry box mix.  

But you can use whatever bread you desire. 

Here is what you will need... 1 pound maple flavored sausage cooked and drained, 2 cups milk or soy milk, 8 eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 

2 cups of cheddar to top at the end of baking, 

and bread of choice cubed to place in the bottom of your baking dish

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and place cubed bread in sprayed baking dish

SO PRETTY

 

 

In a bowl whisk together your 8 eggs, syrup, cinnamon and vanilla with your 2 cups milk

Place your cooked and drained sausage on top of your cubed bread, then pour your milk and egg mixture over the top.  Refrigerate over night, or for at least 3 hours before cooking.  Bake uncovered for 30 minutes then top with cheddar to bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the center is solid and not watery.  Let it cool for about 5 minutes and serve with a nice fruit salad.

 

 

This dish is supposed to taste like a McGriddle at McDonalds,,,

I think it's better 

and certainly healthier. 

Sarcasm note:  I'd much rather have breakfast at McDonalds.... uh NOT!
