Pancake Casserole
This pancake breakfast casserole is a dish I really love because the fluffy, tender pancakes bake together into a beautiful and delicious dish that’s perfect for the holidays. My easy pancake casserole recipe is wonderful to prep ahead, and I can have it ready to enjoy with family and friends in under an hour. It’s one of my favorite breakfast casseroles when I’m hosting or want something special.
At this point, my family and friends absolutely expect some kind of casserole to be served at all of our holiday breakfasts and brunches. My fabulous baked pancake recipe is always a hit, and this 5-ingredient pancake casserole is just as easy and delicious! It’s a slightly sweet casserole that uses whole pancakes, either store-bought or freshly made, and a sweet cream and egg mixture with maple syrup. You simply cut the pancakes in half, arrange them in a pretty pattern, and pour the cream and egg mixture over the top. As the fluffy pancakes bake, they absorb the egg mixture, which helps hold the layers together and gives them a custard-like yet tender texture. Don’t be surprised if the whole family insists this recipe be on the must-make list for your holiday celebrations, too!
