This MAPLE SAUSAGE FRENCH TOAST BAKE is a make ahead breakfast that is perfect for any holiday or brunch gathering!

Stacey and I have been having so much fun with #BrunchWeek this week. Have you had a chance to see all the yummy goodness being shared by all the bloggers? Don’t forget to check out the exciting giveaway that we have thanks to the amazing #BrunchWeek sponsors; California Walnuts, Black Gold Farms, Lodge Cast Iron, Food & Wine Conference, Stonyfield, Bob’s Red Mill, Whole Foods Orlando, FL, and Flavors of Summer. {Giveaway is over!}

This recipe was inspired by my son, Hayden. When I make my Baked French Toast with Fruit he will eat it with his sausage. When I was a kid I NEVER wanted to have my syrup touch my sausage or bacon but as I’ve grown I’ve realized my mistake, and now I eat it more often than I should. The sweet and savory flavor combo is huge for me.

French toast bakes and easy casserole recipes are perfect for Mother’s Day for so many reasons. One, they can be made by husbands or kids the night before for an easy breakfast in bed the next day without a very long wait. Two, they are great for big Mother’s Day brunch gatherings because they are a make ahead item and anytime I’m planning a party I try to make as many make-ahead things as possible so I can enjoy the party also.

Once you’ve had a chance to pin and share this recipe be sure to visit the other #BrunchWeek bloggers for more menu ideas. 🙂
