This Thrive Breakfast Lasagna is a great weekend Breakfast or Brunch. It talks a little more time (if you have to make the Cream Cheese Pancakes or Crepes first - But you can make them up ahead of time, it would go together pretty fast. I saw the original recipe on Pinterest - it came from the blog, I Breathe . . . I'm Hungry. . . and naturally I Thrivealized it!
This recipe will use Thrive Whole Egg Powder and Thrive Freeze Dried Sausage Crumbles so I wanted to share comparisons I did against store bought eggs and store bought sausage that Thrive Consultant, Holly Cooley blogged about here. - You can see how using Thrive is saving me money and time!

Cholula Hot Sauce (I like Chipotle)
1 teaspoon Sour Cream
Instructions:
Combine the Whole Egg Powder and 1 3/4 cups of water. Add sausage crumbles, onions, Chef's Choice and Peppercorn Blend seasonings. Mix well. Let sit for about 5-7 minutes to start reconstituting the sausage crumbles.
In a small bowl, combine mushrooms, red bell peppers and tomato dices (or ANY 3 Thrive FD Veggies that you want) and add the 1/3 cup water, stir and let sit to reconstitute.
Reconstitute the cheddar cheese (See You Tube Below) and divide in thirds.Scramble the Egg Mixture, divide in half and set aside.
Cover the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 square pan with 4 pancakes or crepes, it's ok if they overlap. Spread 1/2 the scrambled eggs and 1/3 cheese. Layer next 4 pancakes. Spread veggie mixture and 1/3 of the cheese. Layer the last 4 pancakes. Spread last 1/2 of scrambled eggs and final 1/3 cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Cut into 9 equal pieces and serve. Optional garnish with Cholula Hot Sauce and/or Sour Cream. ENJOY!

***Thrive Cream Cheese Pancakes for Breakfast Lasagna
Ingredients:
8 ounces Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Thrive Whole Egg Powder (#22570)
1 cup water
pinch of Thrive Iodized Salt (#22668)
Instructions:
Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Let it rest for a couple minutes. Pour batter into a hot pan greased with coconut oil or butter to make a 3-4 inch pancake. Cook for 2 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. NOTE: these are a little fragile so don't make them too big. If they break apart, it's OK as you will be layering them in the lasagna and covering with other ingredients.
