Sausage and Pancake Strata

I found this recipe for a breakfast casserole in an old 'Woman's World' magazine. The recipe claims that it tastes like the McDonald's McGriddle sandwich.
I had planned to post a special cake for someone very special today but then decided I'd rather 'invite' her to brunch and make this strata. So Lovella this one's for you. You are celebrating your 50th today and I want to wish you a very happy birthday! You have been an inspiration to me, you set a good example to many. I love your enthusiasm for life and how you express love for God, your beloved, your children, your grand babies and your friends! We have never met in person but I count you a true friend. Seems like a long time ago that I googled 'Paska' and found much more..I found the recipe and a friend! Wishing you God's blessings today and keep celebrating!
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (14.5 oz) frozen mini pancakes (I made my own although from a mix) approximately 18
  • 1 package (7 oz) maple flavored brown and serve sausage patties, 8 or 9 patties
  • Maple Syrup
Beat eggs with milk, stir in cheese and salt and set aside.
Cook the sausages and the pancakes.
Arrange half of pancakes in bottom of a greased 11" x 7" dish. Top with sausage patties.
Pour egg mixture over the patties and top with the rest of the pancakes, gently pressing them into the egg mixture to partially coat them.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350ยบ.
Uncover and drizzle maple syrup over the egg mixture which has started to set at this point.
Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes until set.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle with more maple syrup if you prefer.
Serves: 9

Thanks for posting Betty...wondered just how you would be able to join the party...but here you were setting the table for all us with your delicious food. Glad we met over Paska!!!!! Good friends come from good cooking!
