Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Prepare the Kodiak pancake batter according to package directions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together: Kodiak batter, 6 eggs, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Stir in sliced chicken sausage and half the shredded cheese.
- Pour mixture into the baking dish.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Need variation?
- Make it sweet & savory by skipping garlic powder and black pepper. Instead, add 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tbsp maple syrup to the batter.
- Add veggies: Finely diced onion or a handful of spinach can get you a boost of nutrients.
- Add 1/2 cottage cheese to the batter for additional protein.
