Bake all of your breakfast favorites together in this fun and tasty sausage and waffle breakfast casserole. It's a little sweet, a little savory and oh so good!
Brown breakfast sausage and drain any excess grease.
Lightly toast the waffles.
Grease an 8" square baking dish.
Arrange 4 waffles in the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle half of the sausage and ¾ cup of the cheese over the waffles.
Repeat the layers with the rest of the waffles, sausage and cheese.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over layers in the pan.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour but up to 24 hours.
When ready to bake, pull the casserole out of the refrigerator when you start preheating your oven to 325°F.
Remove cover and bake 45-50 minutes or until the eggs in the center are set. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
