Baked Sausage-Stuffed French Toast

1. 1

   Coat a 9x9-inch square baking pan or a small casserole dish with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a medium saute pan over medium-high, crumble sausage and cook until lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess oil in the pan, then set aside.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and maple surup.

4. 4

   To assemble, fit 4 slices of the bread into the bottom of the prepared pan. Yo may also need to trim the bread. Arrange sausage meat over bread, then top with 6 slices of cheese, breaking as needed to arrange in a single layer over all of the sausage and bread.

5. 5

   Arrange remaining bread over the cheese, then top with remaining cheese. Pour egg mixture over top.

6. 6

   At this point, the pan can be covered and refrigerated overnight, if desired.

7. 7

   Otherwise, heat oven to 375F and let the french toast rest for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until puffy, golden brown and set. Serve warm.
