Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
In a skillet, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Toast waffles and cut into quarters.
Layer half of the waffles in the baking dish. Top with half of the sausage and cheese. Repeat with remaining waffles, sausage, and cheese.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the waffle-sausage layers.
Press down lightly with a spatula. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onion. Serve warm with additional maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

Can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
Use homemade waffles for extra flavor.
Spicy or maple-flavored sausage adds an extra kick.
Cheese is optional but adds savory richness.
