Note

Storage: Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Substitutions: You can use cheddar or provolone cheese instead of mozzarella for a sharper flavor. Ground turkey or chicken can replace the sausage for a lighter version.

Tips: Ensure the batter is fully liquid before pouring to ensure even cooking. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.

Variations: Add cooked bell peppers or spinach to the sausage layer for extra vegetables.
