Made this for breakfast today, and while I like the idea of it, the taste was a bit off for me. I think that next time, I will try using maple sausage, cooked and crumbled, mixed in the batter, instead of the bacon. I did take the recommendation of not using the additional sugar, and I think I am glad I did - the maple flavor was pleasing, without being too sweet (and you could always serve extra syrup at the table for those who have a sweet tooth). Also, the cheese on top didn't do anything for us - will eliminate a few calories next time. And cooking time and temperature was way off - I baked at 375, and it still took 30 minutes. Thanks for a good starting point. 5/08 - made this again, but with maple sausage and mozzarella instead of cheddar - much improved flavor, at least to our liking. Kept everything else the same - no sugar other than the syrup, mixed everything together, 375 degrees, no cheese on top -- a wonderful breakfast! I will serve this for Thanksgiving breakfast - my stepmother doesn't like eggs or sweet things for breakfast (but she does like waffles and pancakes), so this will work just fine!
