- 1 large egg
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- ½ cup pure maple syrup, plus extra for serving

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking oil.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces until fully cooked and browned. Drain any excess fat.
4. Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the prepared baking dish.
5. Pour the pancake batter over the sausage layer, spreading it evenly.
6. Drizzle the ½ cup maple syrup evenly over the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pancake layer is cooked through and golden brown.
8. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
9. Serve with additional maple syrup on the side for extra sweetness.

Tips:
For a fluffier casserole, gently fold the egg whites separately whipped into soft peaks into the pancake batter before pouring over the sausage.
Use a mix of maple syrup and a touch of cinnamon in the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
