Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut 1 (12-count) package Hawaiian rolls into about 1-inch cubes. Add the cubed rolls in an even layer to the prepared baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5–8 minutes. If there is excess grease, drain it from the skillet into a heat-safe container or blot the cooked sausage briefly on paper towels.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the cubed Hawaiian rolls in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, ¾ cup half and half, ⅓ cup real maple syrup, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese, sausage, and rolls, tilting the dish as needed to distribute the liquid.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly browned.
- Let the casserole rest 5 minutes, then serve warm.
