Breakfast Lasagna | layers of pancakes, eggs, sausage and maple béchamel

My family all loves breakfast; it is one of our favorite meals of the day. While my kids prefer my hubby’s scrambled eggs, I have him beat on pancakes! Now as ironic as this is going to seem, I was recently running on the treadmill at the gym and watching the Food Network. It was one of my favorite shows, where the host shows how to make their favorite dishes. Eric Greenspan made his breakfast lasagna and I was smitten. There was no doubt that I had to make it!

This Breakfast Lasagna is a delicious way to start your day. With layers of pancakes, eggs, sausage, and maple béchamel, breakfast has never tasted so good.

Once I got home and looked at all the layers, I knew that I had to change it up a bit. Otherwise, I would have to be at the gym for 6 hours running off all the calories. Now I only have to be there for one hour.

So here is my take on this amazingly genius breakfast dish.
Enjoy! XOXO San

How do you make Breakfast Lasagna?

  • Cook sausage and set aside.
  • Prepare and scramble eggs, set aside

  • Prepare the béchamel sauce by melting the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Once melted add in flour and cook until it is a light golden color, about 5 minutes.

  • While you are doing this, heat the milk and maple syrup in a bowl until the mixture is hot. Once flour and butter are ready whisk in the milk mixture and whisk until smooth. Bring to a soft boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring until thickened then remove from heat. Season with salt and nutmeg and set aside until ready to use.

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Make pancakes by sifting together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add in the milk, eggs, and melted butter; mix until smooth.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat and pour or scoop the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and set aside until ready to assemble the lasagna.
  • In a 9×13 pan add 3/4 cup of the béchamel to the bottom of the pan. 

  • Layer pancakes, it might make it easier to fit the pan if you cut them into squares, I do this. My kids eat the scraps or I save them for the next morning. 

  • Add scrambled eggs, sausage, and then pour 1 cup of the béchamel over the sausage. Add another layer of pancakes on top of the sausage, pour 1 cups of béchamel over the pancakes, top with 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese, and add remaining béchamel sauce, about 1/4 cup.

  • Cover with foil and bake about 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

  4. So what temp do I bake it for? Do I assume 350 F?

    Butter or margarine?

    What’s your best method for scrambling the eggs so I get them just right and make the most out of them?

    In a 9 x 13, how high would you say this will rise with foil covered? Should I leave a little air space or will it rise thru the foil?
