Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13 X 9 baking dish. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium high heat until browned. With a slotted spoon, remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. When cool, cut into 1/4 inch slices. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sweet potatoes, brown sugar, milk, pumpkin pie spice, salt and maple flavoring. Fold in bread and sausage. Transfer to prepared baking dish and bake 40-45 minutes, or until set in center. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat pineapple and maple syrup until hot and bubbling. Add butter and stir until melted. To serve, cut casserole into squares and top with pineapple sauce.

 

Notes: This is an all time favorite winter brunch dish at my house. I came up with the recipe to use up this and that, but it became a standard, most requested, gotta have it, dish.

 

Number of Servings: 12-14
