Preheat oven to 350F. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

In a separate bowl, measure out and combine the dry ingredients. Whisk in the wet ingredients using only two-thirds of the maple syrup, as the rest will be used later for topping.

Add in the cheese and mix again.

Once the sausage is browned and somewhat crispy, add it to the casserole mixture (including any excess fat). Mix together well.

Line a casserole dish with parchment paper and then pour the casserole mixture into the dish. Drizzle the remaining maple syrup on top for extra maple flavor.

Place in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, depending on the size of the casserole dish. The inside should be completely cooked through.

Once done, remove from the oven and let cool. Lift the casserole out using the edges of the parchment paper.

Slice and serve. If you like, you can drizzle a little more syrup on top. Enjoy!
