Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F and grease a 9×13″ baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with milk and melted butter or oil until smooth.
Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined; let batter rest for 5 minutes.
In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook sausage 5-7 minutes until browned; drain excess fat.
Season sausage with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika as desired.
Spread half the cooked sausage evenly in the baking dish.
Sprinkle half the shredded cheese and half the diced green onions over the sausage.
Pour pancake batter gently over the sausage layer, spreading evenly.
Top with remaining sausage, cheese, and green onions.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the casserole is puffed and golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For make-ahead convenience, assemble casserole the night before, refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning. Customize with your favorite cheeses, herbs, or vegetables for added flavor and texture.
