Ingredients You’ll Need
- Breakfast Sausage: My favorite choice for this casserole! You can also swap in diced ham, crispy bacon, or leave the meat out for a vegetarian version.
- Maple syrup: Pure maple syrup gives the best flavor and balance of sweetness, but imitation syrup will work.
- Vegetables (optional): Add 1–2 cups of diced veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions for extra flavor and color.

- Slice the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 375ºF and spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Dice the Hawaiian rolls into 1-inch cubes and add to the prepared baking dish.
- Add Sausage: Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks until no pink remains, about 5-8 minutes. Spread the cooked sausage over the top of the diced rolls.
- Add Cheese: Add the cheddar cheese on top of the sausage.
- Combine the Egg Mixture and Bake: Whisk together the eggs, half and half, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over the top of the cheese and sausage. Cover with foil and Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the top is lightly browned. Serve warm.
Alyssa’s Recipe Tip
Make-Ahead: Prep the casserole the night before for an easy morning! Just let it rest at room temperature for 30–60 minutes before baking so it heats evenly. If it’s still a bit chilled, simply add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
