Big Breakfast Plate with Pancakes, Eggs, Sausage & Home Fries

Instructions

Step 1: Make your pancake batter by whisking together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Step 2: In another bowl, combine milk, 1 egg, and melted butter, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 3: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook pancakes until golden on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4: While pancakes cook, brown the sausage links in a separate skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5: In another pan, heat olive oil and add diced potatoes with salt and pepper, cooking until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Add the diced red bell peppers to the potatoes in the last 2 minutes of cooking for a pop of color.

Step 7: In a small skillet, scramble the 2 large eggs over medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy.

Step 8: Stack the pancakes on a plate and arrange sausage, home fries, and scrambled eggs beside them.

Step 9: Drizzle maple syrup over the pancakes and garnish everything with fresh chopped parsley.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover pancakes and sausage in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Home fries and eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can also be refrigerated for a day.

To reheat, warm pancakes in a toaster or skillet over medium heat until heated through. Sausage can be warmed in a skillet or microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Home fries reheat beautifully in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil, which helps restore their crispiness. Eggs are best reheated gently in a low-heat skillet to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
