Equipment

  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Casserole:

  • 12 count Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup half and half
  • ¼ cup real maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole cooks evenly.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Sausage - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
  • Step 3: Mix the Eggs - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Casserole - Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the rolls, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure to cover all the ingredients.
  • Step 5: Top with Rolls - Place the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls over the egg and sausage mixture. You can brush a little melted butter on top for added flavor if desired.
  • Step 6: Bake - Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  • Step 7: Serve - Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in your Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Casserole!

Notes

  • Prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it for a quick breakfast.
  • This casserole is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • For a sweeter version, increase the maple syrup or add powdered sugar on top before serving.
