Spicy Sausage Pancake Bake

This Spicy Sausage Pancake Bake is a hearty breakfast casserole featuring a puff pancake base topped with spicy sausage and melted Pepper Jack cheese!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb uncooked spicy Italian poultry sausage, casings removed (turkey, chicken or both will all work)
  • 1 teaspoon dried fennel seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons light butter, I use Land O’Lakes
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup flour, I used white whole wheat but all-purpose or regular wheat would be fine
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 5 oz reduced fat Pepper Jack cheese, shredded (I used Cabot 50% reduced fat)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425.
  • Bring a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage, fennel and red pepper flakes. Cook the sausage, breaking it up with a cooking spoon or spatula, until browned and broken into small pieces. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl (or a blender – you can blend this mixture until well combined), combine the milk, flour, eggs and salt and whisk together until smooth and well combined.
  • Place the butter into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and place in the pre-heated oven for 5-10 minutes until the butter is completely melted. Remove the dish and tilt so that the butter spreads across the bottom of the dish. Pour the flour/egg mixture across the bottom of the dish and then sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over the top. Place back in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese starts to brown and the ingredients are cooked through.
