If there was ever a time to indulge in food, it would be the holiday season; a good way to start the binge eating festivities is with the Pancake Lasagna. A breakfast dish inspired by dinner, the Pancake Lasagna is just what it sounds like and more. It is essentially a meal that has been made to look like lasagna, complete with a variety of layers, but doesn't taste like one.
Conceived by chef Eric Greenspan, the Pancake Lasagna holds a lot more than pancakes. Between that staple, which basically holds everything together with the help of the key ingredient, the maple vegetable sauce, is smoked bacon, sausage links, cheddar cheese and scrambled egg. Served with maple syrup, the Pancake Lasagna is insane.
